Incorrect. The Doctor and everyone we say is a Time Lord is not a Time Lord, and everyone we don't say is a Time Lord is a Time Lord.

Wrap your head around that one.

That doesn't work out correctly though, if we say that any time lord is a time lord, then we are deductively saying what they are. A swan is a shape-shifting man by the name of Thomas Awesome doesn't work quite as well.

[up][up] So the instant we say someone is a Time Lord, they cease being a Time Lord, and every time we say someone isn't a Time Lord they become one. So...Batman is a Time Lord. But because I said that, Batman is not a Time Lord. So he is. So he isn't. So he is. So he isn't. So he is. So he isn't. So he is...AAAAAHHHH!!!! My Braaaaaaaaainnnnn!!!!

I understand it requires being some sort of lord of time.

But what what if a Time Lord isn't a Time Lord?

I have made a simple formula to figure it out.

You see, If saying someone is a time lord, they are not a time lord. If we say someone is not a time lord, they are a time lord. So saying The Doctor is a time lord makes him not a time lord, and saying batman is not a time lord means he is not a time lord.

In simple terms:

T= M + -t. -T= M + t.

Any questions?

Maybe we need to play the video game to really get it.

A time lord is a time lord of course, of course.

Unless, of course, that time lord is Mr Ed.

If you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy, have some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Time Lord? You Keep Using That Word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
