One account suggested that this battle took place in a [[Metaltron timeline|timeline]] where the [[Cult of Skaro]] did not emerge from [[the Sphere|their sphere]] and precipitate the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]] in [[2007]], thereby explaining why Van Statten and his company were not familiar with the Daleks ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=3|chaptname=Everything Changes|page=149 | One account suggested that this battle took place in a [[Metaltron timeline|timeline]] where the [[Cult of Skaro]] did not emerge from [[the Sphere|their sphere]] and precipitate the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]] in [[2007]], thereby explaining why Van Statten and his company were not familiar with the Daleks in 2012.

([[TV]]: {{cs|The Big Bang (TV story)}}, etc.) Indeed, the Doctor noted on several occasions that humans were great at forgetting terrible things as a defense mechanism.
