He might have learned it from Marty before it ever became a hit and Chuck waited for the right time to release. Maybe it was predestined that Chuck would learn it from Marty who had in turn learned from Chuck.

Although Marty tries so hard to warn Doc of his distant death Doc refuses to take it. He rips up a message Marty puts in his pocket. But the message ends up old but intact in the future. Why? Also when Doc was first riddled with bullets from the Libyans I don't remember any blood. Could it have been that Doc was already forwarned and had the bullet proof vest on already. To all you time travel experts, I have heard various premises about but wouldn't it be kind of distructive if you met future/past version of yourself. Also wouldn't Marty coming back to the future before he had/will go back to the past do as much damage to the time stream as his interaction with his parents? -- Doug Boyce Daemen College, Amherst NY UUCP : {decvax,dual,rocksanne,watmath,rocksvax}!sunybcs!daemen!boyce ARPA : boyce@buffalo.CSNET@csnet-relay or ARPA : boyce%daemen.uucp@buffalo.CSNET@csnet-relay "Who's that fellow outperforming everybody?"
