Why do you think it was repeatedly stated that they're only exploring a memory? Why do you think it was repeatedly stated that the Attack Titan's power is limited specifically to seeing future Attack Titans' memories? Why do you think Eren interacting with Grisha was such a surprise to Zeke? Because he knows that they're only viewing a memory and that it should be absolutely impossible for anything they do to interact with the events in the memory, yet that's what happens. You just made this grandiose paragraph just to concede at the end lol, but I’m glad we found some middle ground

You said that it should be “absolutely impossible for anything they do to interact with the events in the memory,” which I agree with because it means two things:

1. This is still a memory, and Eren Yeager has a hidden power never implied before that allows him to simulate Grisha’s possible reactions to interactions, and the ability to emulate the sense of touch to convince Zeke that they’re actually hugging, all so that he can create the illusion that they interacted with a memory.

2. It’s not a memory. They travelled back in time using the stated time transcending powers of the Attack Titan.

The second option called in line with logical reasoning and the reality of the situation. If you can’t imteract with a memory, then it’s not a memory, and you start from there. You don’t ignore logic and continue with your debunked preconceived notion that they’re still in a memory.
