Except "nebulous future!Kazran" and "future!Kazran whom the Doctor has already met" are different, because the show goes to great pains to establish that foreknowledge of events, or going through events in your own timestream, makes them real in a way that glimpses of possible futures aren't. Meeting young!Kazran and asking him to look at his life, look at his choices, via some magic device that shows you possible futures but doesn't fix any of them in reality, would be way different from meeting older!Kazran and then going back in time just to manipulate younger!Kazran into choosing a future whereby that guy will never have existed.

It's like... it's like "The Girl Who Waited," which is already dark as all hell because it takes that scenario seriously instead of trying to pass it off as heartwarming. The only reason it's not even darker is because older!Amy agrees to give her younger self a shot at a better life than she had, and when it becomes clear that the two Amys can't coexist, she ultimately tries to comfort Rory and the Doctor by agreeing to sacrifice herself so they're not straight-up murdering her. If it hadn't been voluntary, it would've strayed into "way too fucked-up to be on Doctor Who" territory. A Christmas Carol gives me the raging heebie-jeebies because it's basically TGWW with older!Amy kicking and screaming the whole time, and it's trying to pretend it isn't.
