Isn’t it interesting that the no-things have an easier time copying alien concepts over human concepts?

They understand the complexity of the Doctor’s origins just fine. They comprehend the Flux event. They seem to get regeneration enough not to misrepresent the Doctor’s current face (though part of that is plot convenience).

It’s the human things – the things from within our universe – that they struggle with. A consistent shape. Object permanence. The amount of knowledge a human can keep in her mind at once. Doublethink. Slowness.

They understand the Doctor much better than Donna. And doesn’t that make perfect sense? After all, they’re both from outside our universe.
