That's a pretty good story, and very true to the spirit of time travel
as a plot device. It makes a lot of sense to first send someone back as
"close" as possible to make a change. Then the law of unintended
consequences comes in to play and the change is for the worse so, if you
have the ability, you send someone further back. The process snowballs
until you either finally get the intended result, you create a loop, or
you do something that prevents the invention of time travel.
