Did we all just forget that the Doctor isn't technically the Doctor?

Doctor Who has been running for so long – and has had so many different writers, showrunners, and producers at its helm – that it's had more of its lore forgotten than most other TV shows will ever have written for them.
Even the most hardcore Whovian can't always recall what Character X said 42 minutes into an old Troughton serial from the 1960s, even if that dialogue is actually super important.
Most of the time it's minor details – things that were never meant to have much of an impact and disappeared almost as soon as they arrived. But there are some bits of lore sitting quietly in the background that, when you actually stop and think about them, have huge implications for the show.
From oft-forgotten details about the Whoniverse at large to a disturbing tidbit about the Doctor themselves, these are some of the fairly major Doctor Who details that most people seem to have completely forgotten about.
