** ExactWords. The Doctor has a plan to sooth the minds of the locals -- to lie to them and say he's got a plan to defeat the Daleks. The Doctor ''doesn't'' have a plan to deal with the Daleks, however. But notice how the local in question doesn't ask him whether he has a plan ''to defeat the Daleks''; he just asks whether the Doctor has a plan, without specifying in words with regards to what. So the Doctor is both telling the truth when he says he has a plan to the local, and when he says he ''doesn't'' have a plan to Clara; because he is talking about two different scenarios, and the local didn't specify which one he was asking. In other words, the Doctor is exploiting a loophole.

The Doctor changed -- saved -- billions upon billions of lives throughout his life by altering the future.

** Also, normally after confession the priest prescribes you penance - something you have to do to atone for your sins (aside from making it up to whoever you're wronged, you have to do that every time). So the posthypnotic suggestion the Silents leave may seem to be for that, except! It's an utter perversion, because Catholic Christianity (the only major religion that has confession) is big on ''free will''. If you're made to do the right thing, if you don't get to decide - it really doesn't count. Which might make sense, considering this "Church" is completely unlike Catholic Church, for reasons only known to Moffat himself.

** Back to the original question - not much, really. Imagine you have a to-do list in your head: 1) buy milk, 2) send letters, 3) go to confession. You have a physical evidence of buying milk in your shopping tote, you can take a slip confirming sending letters at the post office, but the only trace a confession leaves is in your soul and priest's memory. And you can't ask the priest if he's wiped your memory if just seeing him will wipe your memory. So, after the good feeling of having just confessed passes, you'll probably be left confused (have I confessed or not? Confession doesn't make your sins go away, it's supposed to be the point where you get a grip and start [[TheStoner atoning for them]]) and go back for another mindwipe. Which will eventually ruin your brain. So ''somebody'' obviously DidntThinkThisThrough.

Moreover, if the Doctor's name is the safe word for them to come out of hiding, it doesn't really make sense to ''force'' him to say it regardless of the actual level of danger for the Time Lords. The way it's done, he has to say it when in certain circumstances, which have very little to do with whether it's safe. Were I Rassilon, I'd use sensors, perhaps send some agents to explore the world and report back. Or is it too sane for this guy?

*** It works if the part of the Doctor's timeline which both the GI and Clara access is restricted to the portion before they, themselves, last had contact with him. Later events in Season 8 show that traveling through personal timelines works best when the traveler focuses his or her thoughts on the individual being sought. If the GI selectively homed in on the first eleven versions of the Doctor, presuming there wouldn't be any others, and Clara was focused on chasing the GI when she followed, then they both could've missed War (which neither one knew about), Twelve, and later incarnations completely. As for Clara and Eleven not bumping into any later Doctors at the end, Clara would naturally have seen those Doctors her own splinters had encountered, because her thoughts would draw them towards her. Note that War only shows up ''after'' Eleven does, because ''he'' is unable to avoid worrying they'll run into his Time War incarnation.
