The really big do-overs, though, things like - telling Aethelstan to *always* wear his seatbelt - telling Mike to buy a newer car with airbags and crumple zones, even if it meant that he had to buy an equivalent one for his wife in the divorce settlement - pushing my dad off the chair he was standing on, so that he hurts his shoulder, goes to the doctor, gets talked into a full physical, and gets the pre-cancerous polyp snipped out (Oh, wait. That one actually happened. He thinks G-d pushed him off the chair.)
... those aren't learning experiences so much as just painful ones.
