When all realities have a shared history (The DC ones do), it doesn't matter what you call them, the terms are interchangeable. Alternate. Parallel. Divergent.

And it doesn't matter what causes the quantum effect that makes reality split. Natural causes, the effects of time travel, outside forces, a Gardner Fox dream, or whatever. The end result is the same:

You get two alternative realities that have diverged from one, and run parallel to each other.
Except that's not what's happening on the show. You're still insisting these two things are the same thing when that's just not the story the show is telling. On the show, people from the future either disappear when the future gets changed, or their memories change to fit the new history. That wouldn't be happening if time travel worked the way you insist it does.
