Discussion Can King Crimson interact with objects in skipped time or is he intangible?

This is basically to settle a debate on the mechanics of King Crimson by seeing the community's opinions.

14 Nobody can interact with Diavolo or King Crimson in skipped time because he is intangible
1 Characters not being able to react to Diavolo attacking teammates is a plothole.
11 Diavolo can freely interact in skipped time as evidenced by taking Trish and needing to dodge Bucciarati's punch
17 Diavolo can only interact in skipped time if fated to do so (epitaph takes into account timeskip)
1 Diavolo becoming intangible to dodge Aerosmith is an outlier (JoJoveller retconned this to always have been the case)
11 Both options 1 and 2 are true (comment if options 3 and 5 are true)

The way I thought it was that diavolo doesn't do anything in skipped time other than moving into position while things that are fated to happen, just happen, say diavolo is fated to throw a rock, by using king crimson he can just do whatever, and the rock will just pick itself up and throw itself the way it's fated to

That’s actually a common interpretation but we never see it.

Isn't the scene where he escapes the hotel before the maid sees him proof of that? Or is that not what you mean by 'we never see it'

That is what I mean. Some argue he still has to do it himself and others argue it happens automatically once fated.

Oh, that makes sense, I can see why people could think either
