The narrative assertion
"The Doctor's enforcement of ceremonial protocol (bowing to the Sash of Rassilon) parallels the Time Lords' own rigid adherence to tradition. This juxtaposition emphasizes the Doctor's dual role: upholding (publicly) and subverting (clandestinely) the systems he claims to revere."
