Logic
Logic, according to the Time Lord Astrolabus and the Lord of Life Voyager, was "a new toy". It claimed that the world had no end and that the Earth was round.

(TV: Destiny of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Destiny of the Daleks (TV story)"]) The Daleks eventually responded to this by reintroducing organic matter into themselves, allowing them to make small gains in battle.
