It is not entirely clear to him that people can.

Not that this is necessarily an entirely good thing.  Though it could be!  Keltham doesn't know.  It depends on, you know, the entire state of the entire multiverse that he cannot in fact extrapolate in his tiny little mortal-sized brain.

But he should maybe not talk about this much until he's tried to figure out the ways in which it will be an enormous infohazard, which, again, it clearly will be, somehow.

"I suspect that - at the scale where whole universes interact, like that - time might not mean as much, or be as synchronized, as it is in Golarion.  If you can see dath ilan from here, if that's at all controllable, then it might be just as easy to see dath ilan's past as what I think of as its present.  That could be why Asmodeus wasn't trying to grab anyone else right away, if it was expensive, and if He knew that all that was needed was one dath ilani to get things rolling here, and that, in time, Golarion's Civilization would then ascend to where it could finish the job itself."

"And if you think about it from the perspective of somebody in dath ilan, who truly died - they just need - somebody, somewhere, who's powerful enough, who can see them, and cares.  Or is willing to trade with something else that cares."

Some trades stretch across time.  It's a saying in dath ilan that usually means something rather different, there, just ordinary time in one world, coordinated trades that parents make with children who don't exist yet or haven't matured as economic agents.
