It's not even true by their own material, and from Smith's own run! History was written that River Song killed The Doctor, that is until Clara erased the history of the universe which also meant River was no longer considered a murderer somehow,
Except not only did The Doctor find a loophole for that but as mentioned somehow simply erasing it from all the data archives everywhere was enough to undo it's lasting repercussions! Was this a clumsy way of saying [digital] book burning is good because it no longer means the bad things are ever thought about? That precise argument fails because "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" anyway!
Also explaining just what they were. They weren't aliens, they weren't monsters, they were just modified humans. End of. Massive anticlimactic fumble on something previously considered genuinely dangerous🙄 At least the Weeping Angels were still dangerous, albeit reduced to some point of ridicule when it turned out The Statue Of Liberty was one...
Oh man. I know I complained about that exact episode in my comment, but I had actually completely forgotten that that happened. I must have blocked out how dumb it was.
"Hey, we have this monster that people love. Its two main traits are: it can't move if anyone is looking at it, and if anyone photographs it or stares at its eyes for too long, bad things happen. Also, they go around with their faces covered because they even freeze if they look at each other."
"Great, lets make one of the most famous, visible, photographed statues in the world—which has its face visible all the time—turn out to be one of them."
