King Crimson's ability intrinsically relies on the flow of time. The World interrupts that flow. It therefore stands to reason that the time stop would interrupt erased time. DIO's ability does not occur within "time" for King Crimson to erase. DIO's ability has no such reliance on the flow of time, because it literally stops time.

I'm not trying to say that DIO is completely disconnected from reality but neither does King Crimson give Diavolo control over reality. It just erases a 10 second period of time. It can't erase actions that occur when time is stopped.

It's not like the time stop occurs between 0 seconds and 1 second; it doesn't occur within time at all. If it did, it wouldn't be called a time stop. When time stop is active, DIO's actions are completely unrelated to the flow of time.
