Time travel is supposed to be impossible too and that happened. Just saying in the AWvsSAO standalone reality that possibility is there. It probably never will be made canon, but I highly doubt they would have Matsuoka voice him if the implication was that he was only supposed to be his son (a character who hasn't even been hinted of existing). It's just the way he kept denying any connection he had with Kirito and making up lame excuses.

And yes I know it won't be canon. Only saying what AWvsSAO was trying to do.
