*** This makes the most sense - Martha's statement was likely an exaggeration - she didn't ''literally'' tell every human being about the Doctor. In the same way that not 100% of a population, but only a reasonably large proportion, need to be vaccinated against a particular disease to reduce its spread to negligible levels, not literally every human being, but only a large majority, need to know of the Doctor in order for the telepathic field to work.

* When Martha told "every single person on Earth" about the Doctor, did she also tell uncontacted tribes? Was she somehow able to come into contact with the Sentinelese and tell them about the Doctor?
