- Of course, one must also take into consideration the Doctor's tendency to
- complete forget what he was doing whenever he suddenly had a brainstorm
- (especially the Fourth :-) ). It probably would cause no end of frustration
- for his partner if he suddenly exclaimed "of course! The archon flux should
- have been channeled through the molecular stabilizer!", got up and walked out
- with a purposeful stride, mumbling to himself and completely ignoring the
- world.
-
- Maybe, like other aspects of his reputation, this habit has become known
- galaxy-wide and now no one will have anything to do with him.
