Maybe I am, but I wish more background thought went into screenplays these days than just convenient hand-waving to explain things away.

The thing is, Back to the Future and the year 1985 go together like proverbial peas and carrots.

It makes sense that a former Manhattan Project contributor, down on his luck after his house burns down, sits on this wonderful idea of the flux capacitor for 30 years until the mid 1980s when the electronics revolution allowed him unprecedented access to consumer-grade gizmos to rip apart and rebuilt to see his vision come to light.
