He didn’t make a copy of himself that doesn’t rush into the battle with the fancy ray gun because he didn’t do it.
He didn’t have foresight to leave his power in the egg, he left his powers in an egg.
If Manhattan used his ability to appear at multiple places at one time he would have known he would have needed to appear in multiple places at one time. He didn’t appear in multiple places so he didn’t. If he had, he would’ve.
If Angela hadn’t gone to protect him from the 7th Kavalry, would he have been in a position to need protecting from the 7th Kavalry?
EDIT: such is the problem with Dr. Manhattan. There isn’t anything he could have done in the past, present or future, there is only the stuff he
has done in the past, present and future, all at once.
