::Some of the other writers (I don't know who originally came up with this) suggested that Time Lord history changed. In the original history, they were born. After some change (that we don't know the background to), they'd been loomed ever since the Curse of Pythia. After another change (this one presumably caused by the Enemy or Faction Paradox), they'd had loom technology since the days of Rassilon, but nearly everyone had been born normally up until the point when Romana III became War Queen. (We saw this change affecting the Doctor; he remembered being loomed, and having a father, and couldn't remember which was a dream.) And after the next change (in ''The Ancestor Cell''), they'd never existed in the first place, so it was a moot point. Anyway, whoever's idea this originally was, when [[Justin Richards]] took over the EDAs, he told the other writers that this was the official explanation, but no one was allowed to state it directly (which made sense given that the Doctor had amnesia, history was unraveling, etc.). | ::Some of the other writers (I don't know who originally came up with this) suggested that Time Lord history changed.

::[[Dave Stone]] suggested that Time Lords were born, grew up normally for 21 years, then went into the looms and emerged as fully formed 21-year-olds. Like everything Dave Stone ever said, this was not entirely serious, but not entirely joking, and completely ridiculous and workably plausible at the same time. | ::[[Dave Stone (writer)|Dave Stone]] suggested that Time Lords were born, grew up normally for 21 years, then went into the looms and emerged as fully formed 21-year-olds.
