You're right, I hadn't even noticed this. My brain corrected it as I was reading without me realizing.
So, "before before Christ". Like, even before the concept of before Christ. Which brings us before time. Before the universe itself.
Copper only appeared after the beginning of the universe...
The concept of "Before Christ" only arrived "After Christ".
One cannot have a concept of a negative who's positive has not yet been made known. The absence of Christ could not have been conceptualized before the presence of Christ.
Edit for clarity:
In other words, Pre-BC is still just BC because to be before the concept of BC one must only come before C.
