wasnt that episode where all of time happened all at once because river somehow broke a fixed point in time?
that's why.
Which is stupid, as The doctor goes on to break the same one.
Except he didn't. What was supposed to happen happened, they just didn't know it was the shapeshifting time ship filled with tiny people and not the Doctor that was shot.
Yeah, that always bugged me... so a group of soldiers who have the technology and knowhow to create a "fixed point in time" from nothing made the blundering mistake of creating the fixed point in time where a robot that looks like their target is shot. In fact, how does one "create" a fixed point in time? Does it involve not checking all the variables? Because they totally didn't check all the variables. They also had the technology to make a spacesuit that can move on it's own and force the person wearing it to do stuff... wait, why was River Song needed to shoot the doctor? Why are people saying she killed him at all... it looks like a programable robot suit shot him...
Incidentally, they also knew how to make timelordy people out of babies who were conceived while travelling in the time vortex... and it was shown that there are many races capable of time travelling... so why weren't there just a bunch of races genetically manipulating themselves to be timelords? Why did they need the child of Amy and Rory when I'm sure they could find any 1% of their own population to do the job.
Wait, the Clerics were the people who kidnapped a baby with the full intention of conditioning her to kill one man and then imprisoned her for killing that man? Shouldn't she have gotten a medal and a key to the city?

Huh... this all might seem off topic, but I can excuse it away by saying that these are just a bunch of examples that explains why TATM made no sense.
