First revelation:
If you remember at the end of T2, where Ah-nold gets his arm pinned in the sprocket of a gigantic gear by the T-1000, that bit of arm is STILL in the machinery after Ah-nold pries it off with the metal bar! It is the ONLY piece of the future that survives the story ( movie ). What if that piece of his arm is found by workers days later and given to a tech firm? What if that arm ( plot surprise! ) ends up being the catalyst of Skynets creation and NOT the arm from T1?
Second revelation:
I find it hard to believe that a single engineer/scientist would be solely knowledgeable and responsible for the future events that will take place. A company the size and scope of Cyberdyne would have had many, many engineers and scientists working alongside Miles Dyson. Killing Dyson in T2 probably realistically didn't change anything, as other scientists almost definitely would have had those same computer files stored in their own computers at home! Any one of those scientists would thus become what Dyson would have become had Dyson lived.
Third revelation:
Consider the fact that Dr. Silberman now has knowledge and first hand eye witness accounts of these two futuristic machines in action, considering he saw both in the detainment hallway at the Pescadero mental institution when Ah-nold assisted John Connor in rescuing his mother, Sarah Connor. This institution is riddled with security cameras recording every angle 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After the breakout of Sarah from the institution, there would have been an investigation done by the authorities as to what happened. They will talk to Dr. Silberman and the employees who were beaten up by Ah-nold and review the recorded video tapes. They will now see a fantastic glimpse of the T-1000 oozing through a steel jail door, only to have his pistol get stuck. They will see through the video surveillance of Ah-nold taking multiple rounds of 9mm ammo to his back and run into the elevator unscathed. They will see how the T-1000 can magically manipulate the geometry of his hands to form sharp metal objects and tools. They will pull Sarah's file from the institution's archives and interview Dr. Silberman and will continue to look for Sarah and John for the rest of their lives. Government agents will most likely learn about the video footage and declare it a Top Secret/ National security matter....now you can see the basic plot of a true 3rd movie in the terminator franchise....Sarah and John on the run. During this time, Sarah and John see a Kyle Reese as a boy growing up. John finally "meets" his real dad.
A 4th revelation:
what if Sarah and John are captured by the authorities while on the run? What if they are shown the video footage of the terminators in action back at the mental institution? The authorities will now find it hard to discount Sarah's ( or John's ) story of an impending apocalypse. The authorities cannot refute the factual evidence of the video surveillance recordings. So the question now becomes: by virtue of the video recordings and the statements made by Sarah and John, does this set the wheels of fate in motion of the creation of Skynet, albeit at a much later date? Top secret government scientists will see the video footage and begin work on emulating the technology they've seen. By starting from scratch ( no CPU or arm as Cyberdyne had ) the scientists will eventually create a skynet in the future, well past the date Sarah knows because the scientists had less data to start with.
