Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The Doctor's admission that he 'crossed those wires' and would have drained the Intelligence shows his characteristic refusal to be a passive victim. This exact mindset—turning an enemy's plan against them—is what he defends as morally superior to the Time Lords' inaction.
