Mystical Rationalizations
One thing I've discovered about Doctor Who fans is their ability to rationalize the most insane set of circumstances (probably no different than other fandoms though). This is mostly about one particular article but it's a general truth as stated by the Eight Doctor in the TV Movie. "I love humans. Always seeing patterns in things that aren't there.". It's also the reason that Moffat can get away with as much unfathomable loose plot threads as he understands that no one will really call him on it. The fans will create a set of circumstances to explain away the problems.
I will be taking things out of context as the article I'm taking them from is long. If you're interested, you can read the article in its entirety at The Day of the Doctor: Sorting Out The Time Differentials. Remember, this is from one article but it's a pandemic through most of Who fandom.
