Yeah, I don't buy it either but I think it's a fun idea to play with as a "what if?"
One of the (many) things that's cool about this episode is that the title really refers to Rodney at least as much as to John (if not more so). Oh Rodney ... laboring to find a solution and save his friends, the outcome of which he'll never see! (Not actually all that different from his actions in Old Weir's alternate timeline, actually, except it was a much longer process here, and he had so much more to lose.)
I just did a bit of CAPSLOCK FLAILING at naye's LJ. For some reason this episode didn't really bring out my SQUEE CAPSLOCK OMG OMG OMG reaction, though, so much as a warmer, softer, "oh I love this show and these characters and these writers" sort of thing. *glows happily*
