Nah, that's a zero-point feature at best; I can't imagine how that could possibly meaningfully interact with game play. So I can determine that a million years into the future, Earth is part of the (Unpronounceable Squiggle Realm) of (Unpronounceable Squiggle)? Presuming people don't dismiss me as a nutcase, now what? Probably do me a lot less good than to be able to "see" that the dominant polity in the Connecticut River Valley 10,000 years ago was the Speckled Rock tribe of Paleo-Indians ... and likely few campaigns turn on academic paleontology.


EDIT: Thinking a bit more on my answer, the principal reason why folks are houseruling the cost of advantages such as Unaging and Extended Lifespan down as far as Quirk-level for points is that they have no practical effect on game play in the vast majority of campaigns. This one is even more so.

It's not that I don't understand what you're saying. It's that I disagree with what you're saying.
