I didn't backtrack, OR say it was a form of time travel. It's a manifestation of that concept. There's a critical difference. If I used the term 'form' I was incorrect. You describe it as a burst of speed but that's not how it works. Goku described it as that in an attempt to explain its use to everyone else, but the Kais and Whis & Beerus refer to it as temporal ability.

Nowhere do the Kais or Whis say it has temporal prowess... Instant transmission is a form of teleportation in which the user travels to a pocketed dimension instead of using time to aid them... The only time he actually time travelled was when the supreme Kai of Time used her power to assist Goku to stop Demigra... But that's Xenoverse. So it's not really canon.
