Even just following the time travel rules set out by OS (the cake thing), Ben meeting 10k in OV would mean he would no longer be his future self.

I think it's right for the wiki to stop refering to the 10k future as the current. That wording is confusing, even if it just means 'the most recent we've seen in continuity'..

RAT is decidedly not canon, meaning it's not a great indicator of Ben's birth year, but yeah, the 42 age set out by OS' future wouldn't be true in 2032 unless OS is set during 2000/2001, which we've got no other evidence for. I don't know if we should start saying the OS is difinitivly summer 2006 with such little evidence, when there's also reasons to believe it's 2005, or even 2004 based on Alien Swarm's security footage being dated 22/9/2006 (three years ago from AS - maybe), which is more canonical than RAT
