 ::::Or maybe the Doctor was simply wrong? He hadn't had any prior experience with parallel universes.
 ::::: RTD changed the rules/laws of physics/tv.
+::Technically this is a discontinuity issue with the latter stories, not this one; they came later and are contradicting what this episode is establishing. However, note that in the later stories the Doctor makes a point of noting that travel between parallel dimensions has been impossible since the Time Lords disappeared. Presumably they monitored this sort of thing to prevent the possibility of dimensional paradoxes, and the Doctor in this story is trying to prevent the possibility of such an occurrance, but since they were gone by the time the inhabitants of the other dimension discovered interdimensional travel there was no one to stop them from crossing back and forth, possible dimensional paradoxes be damned.
 * It is stated that the Doctor's help was invaluable to the project and that they wouldn't be as far along as they are without him.  So why is the fascist universe, where the Doctor doesn't exist, even further along in the project?
 ::That's Sir Keith's assessment. Stahlman clearly doesn't agree, and the parallel dimension suggests he is right.
