If we want to imagine up a logic for something that isn't logical, here's how I'd do it.

Flashpoint rebooted the timeline for the entire multiverse from the beginning of time onward. As such, every universe within the multiverse has been over-written, no matter how similar or different it is to pre-flashpoint.

They may be very similar, but they are all not "the same" universe, in the same way that if, say, you had a pile of salt, and then you dumped it into a cup, shook up the salt, and dumped it into another pile. it's the same salt, but it's not the same pile of salt.

Dig?
