Theory:Doctor Who prose discontinuity and plot holes/The Schoolboy's Story

You are exploring the Discontinuity Index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.
Please discuss only those whole stories which have already been released, and obey our spoiler policy.

This page is for discussing the ways in which The Schoolboy's Story doesn't fit well with other DWU narratives. You can also talk about the plot holes that render its own, internal narrative confusing.

Remember, this is a forum, so civil discussion is encouraged. However, please do not sign your posts. Also, keep all posts about the same continuity error under the same bullet point. You can add a new point by typing:

* This is point one.
::This is a counter-argument to point one.
:::This is a counter-argument to the counter-argument above
* This is point two.
::Explanation of point two.
::Further discussion and query of point two.

... and so on. 

• The Doctor claims that if he didn't abduct young Bobby, as an adult he wouldn't tell them they'd done it, they wouldn't know better than to abduct him, and it would cause a paradox. However, the only reason they tracked the time anomaly and met Bobby in the first place was because his future self told them too, and if they hadn't there wouldn't have been a paradox.
