Except destroying Metal Gears is indeed the same kind of changing the world as creating Metal Gears was, as was destroying the Patriots wholesale the same as creating them. That in fact makes them very big hypocrites. Stealing the Legacy was itself changing the world. The only way things wouldn't change is if time itself was frozen from the start.
