   Unlikely, since they would also know that Sinclair needed to   
   stay on B5 for all of 2258 if they were not going to alter   
   and possibly screw-up the timeline.  Remember, Sinclair did   
   some important things when he was on B5 in 2258 (saved   
   Delenn from the Soul Hunter, headed the mission to get the   
   crew off of B4, etc.).
