Having seen it again now, I personally still absolutely stand by my initial explanation as what the film presents, even if it's not what's going to end up as the explanation.

A quote I missed, at the end Steve also says in response to Hulk, "I'll clip all those branches."

The film basically says, "If you remove an Infinity Stone you cause a split in time. If you return the stone, you erase that split and clip the branch." But the people involved with the film have decided to make it much more complicated.

One other thing I don't think I ever mentioned: If the rules were that every time you time travel you create a branch, then that would also involve Steve creating branches when he puts things back. He wouldn't be correcting anything, only creating a new branch from those branches which is good, but not erasing the dark branches.

The Russo explanation just doesn't make sense.
