...it's an awfully We're-Right-You're-Wrong idea of redemption
Is not the right/wrong bit kind of inherent in the whole redemption thing? The redemption idea for a great many religions is a "We're-Right-You're-Wrong" idea. Moreover, even within the dualities of quantum physics, there are binary scenarios.
About your scale issue, I quote "Quantum Leap":
-"Do you [Sam] think that all you did [by Quantum Leaping and putting right what once went wrong] was help a few people?" -"Essentially, yes." -"Oh! I got Mother Teresa on my hands! At the risk of inflating your ego, you've done more. The lives you've touched, touched others. And those lives, others. You've done a lot of good...and you can do a lot more."
