Travel in time is usually meant to communicate a temporal displacement. Your examples retains the same temporal position resulting in a temporal displacement of 0. Aka not time travel despite the appearance to the traveler.
if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
Prestidigitation is not Magic.
Illusion is not Reality.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck. Nothing more, nothing less.
well its important to know if it tastes like a duck too... i guess it depends on your goal, true time travel may well be impossible, but if there is something that for all intents and purposes gives you the same result then how much does it matter? i mean, if i have a machine that can rearange every single particle in the universe to the state it was at some past point in time, thats not really time travel either, but it gets the job done.
There are 2 rooms that are identical in every way except their location. I can travel to the lower one if it was merely the contents of the upper room that interested me. However I could not travel to the lower one if the location of the upper room was of interest to me.
If the job is to travel along a temporal dimension rather than a spacial one then rearranging the universe does not get the job done.
If the job was to simulate another moment in time then means other than time travel (like museums) would be sufficient.
PS: When not monkeying around with high velocities we travel through time at +1 second / 1 relative second. At high velocities this rate accelerates.
