   I look at it the other way... the "timeline" which was made explicit in the   
   "backstory" never really showed up in the Caprica series itself.  Since the   
   Cylon holocaust has yet to actually occur, there was no reason in the show   
   itself to refer to any fixed dates.  So the error in the off-show timeline   
   is something that should just quietly be either revised or thrown away.   
   What actually appears onscreen stands on its own.
