Curious Possibilities

"So I don't think any of us said very much about time travelling in the interval between that Thursday and the next, though its odd potentialities ran, no doubt, in most of our minds: its plausibility, that is, its practical incredibleness, the curious possibilities of anachronism and of utter confusion it suggested."
-HG Wells, The Time Machine (London, 1973), 3, p. 17.

Observations
(i) Immediately after mentioning "time travelling," Wells' outer narrator makes a casual reference to a prosaic period of time: "...between that Thursday and the next..."

(ii) Are the following phrases fully consistent?

odd potentialities
plausibility
practical incredibleness
curious possibilities
anachronism
utter confusion

By "plausibility," he might mean the question of its plausibility?

(iii) Did Wells comprehend the extent of those curious possibilities? Poul Anderson's Time Patrol series has to be the fullest fictional treatment of the potential anachronism and utter confusion.
