By this same logic we could define slope as the change in x over y or s = dx/dy. Does this definition make it impossible to move along the y axis because then the slope of our movement would be dy/dy? No. but it does say that if you move along the y axis your slope will be a constant.
The parent argument's error is that the math in physics represents a homomorphism between an abstract a priori construct we call math and a physical nature. Without properly understanding the underlying form of nature, the homomorphism breaks down. The last I checked, no one knows what time is, or how matter really behaves with respect to it. Therefore, dt/dt=1 does not rule out the possibility for time travel.
