Why is the time-copy even a copy though? If we call some A a copy of some original B, then we have to have reason to associate A with B (if A and B are paintings, the one is a copy of the other if it closely resembles it, say). What association does EpiphanyA at t0 have with EpiphanyB at t1?
Well, I think I persist through time. But you’re saying that time makes copies of me, and I’m curious to know why you think those things are copies and not just new (very short lived) people.

You… don’t see a reason to associate future-you with present-you?

I don’t think the distinction is meaningful. Possibly we just mean different things by the word “copy”?
I think I should, at this point, just ask for some elaboration on the theory.
