I know that, and that wasn't what the point was about (referring to your first and second sentences). Well, from what I understood in that sequence, Lucy was just getting the info while the Animus was taking over, trying to a find a link between the two of them to allow Lucy to get the data. And it didn't go to the "earliest memory:, which would be conception. If it followed Maria's womb, signalling to Desmond that Altair's child was conceived, wouldn't that be considered a memory? According to the theory, it stops because the next child was conceived, so the earliest memory was conception, not birth. What I'm wondering is why it didn't go to conception.

As far as I know, the animus was going back through the generations to find the closest common ancestor, so, for all intents and puposes, it could've gone five minutes before Ezio's child - the older of the two - was conceived. But no, it went back still, to when Ezio was born. But, if there is a "technical diffrrence", and Desmond experiencing the Bleeding Effect was just really him "using" the Animus outside of it, then why would his brain follow a different course then what the Animus showed?

As for the conception theory, which you have pointed out again - this is a blog about me trying to argue it, not point it out to others - that was the end of the sequence.
