Is that the narrator actually has to go back several times precisely because he wasn't as familiar with the time period as the diner owner who tasked him with undoing the assassination. He stops commenting on the differences because he's become accustomed to the difference, which is extremely problematic and has big repercussions on the end of the novel.
