An interesting question might be "how long have these been going on for?", or something along the lines of when did people first start noticing them?
Was Mandela that first? Was Moonraker before then? Has Moonraker only 'changed' recently?
Is there any evidence in literature of people 'misremembering' events?
What therefore also happened on or before the time of death of Nelson Mandela when he was in prison, or alternatively, that point in time where people stared questioning it? - was it when he was released, that people started saying "but I thought he died in prison?" - maybe there is a simpler explanation, in that he did die in prison, but then, some time later, there was a political reason for wanting him to be released from prison, and become president of South Africa, and sort out the racial tension, so maybe the Nelson Mandela that we all saw leaving prison, and being president of SA was not the original real one?
but then you start getting into other CT like how people think that Paul McCartney died in a car crash and was replaced.
so there's that.
There's a Terry Pratchett book, I think it's called The Last Continent, in which the main character Rincewind goes to the continent of XXXX, the counterweight continent (because it's full of gold and is underneath the disc of the earth), and there he meets a kangaroo called Scrappy, and this thing talks to him, and changes reality so that he's always been there. Rincewind goes to a sheep ranch, and the roo follows, and all the ranchers act like they've always had the roo, and then one of them asks, how long have we had the roo, and another replies forever, and the first one then asks "but had we had the roo forever - yesterday?" - ie, I know we've had it forever, and I have memories of it going back in time, but at the same time I can also remember yesterday when we didn't have a roo, so he's been here forever, but only since today.
