The butterfly effect is not about directly causing meaningful change in the past.

It seems you missed the point of my comment. My argument is that the actual chance that your actions indirectly causing a meaningful change down the line is realistically zero. If you go and live a simple peasant life, I don't think +1 peasant in say the Holy Roman Empire will cause any repercussions.
