They spend so much time trying to get us to believe that Eli is way smarter than he acts...which is why I thought it was so weird that he got so worked up about him killing all the people in the other timeline.
SG follows a multiverse paradigm where every possibility exists simultaneously - the continued paradoxical presence of second-Rush after he altered the timeline would de facto preclude a "single ribbon" timeline model - so if he thought about it, he'd "killed" everyone countless times already, every time there had ever been a possibility of it happening. Theres also countless numbers of timelines where some small difference meant the wormhole never destabilized and everyone made it home safely.
Really, the second Rush's timeline only represented the possibility that Eli killed everyone, and people like Eli and Rush should definitely understand the difference....
