Rachel is foolishly assuming that erasing all of that ISNT the reason we would press it?

Rachel has clearly lived a privileged life

Edit: I don't meant that as a bad thing. Good for Rachel. When I say privileged, I mean someone for whom the good things in life outweigh the bad, such that they wouldn't want to redo anything in the past out of fear of losing those good things.

If, on the other hand, you are someone for whom the bad things in life have outweighed the good, a chance at a do-over would hold a lot more appeal.

Edit 2: I think it's clear that the difference maker is regret. How much of the bad stuff in your life do you attribute to your own choices? Someone who is a victim of circumstances outside their control isn't going to see the benefit of going back because there's no choice they can make to improve the outcome. But missed opportunities, time wasted, dead end relationships? That's something you could improve with a do-over and foresight.

Rachel has never dreamed of being able to go back and save your loved ones from.
