I guess the flashbacks are supposed to show hints of an ongoing plot perhaps and of course Arno doesn't see it, but the one in the animus does? Though that still doesn't make sense I guess, because you're seeing Arno's memories. I don't know, but in a way it makes sense, in another way it doesn't. One of the things that didn't make sense with the philosophical conversations you had with your victims is how time stands still. Let's be honest, you got many guards still surrounding you, and they are just waiting for the conversation to be over, until they attack you again? Bit strange, but it worked for me.
