You have a very good point. The things we do for a story.... 0-o

yeahhhhhh
I mean, the point of the show was never to make SENSE or have air tight plots, but the only thing I can come up with for this one is that he might have thought it would be easier for Martha to blend in in the past since she'd have learned at least a little about it. If he took her to the future where there was technology or stuff she didn't know, then she'd stick out more. But it's still like "what's wrong with 1987?" she'd have been a bit more comfortable then, still had an idea how to get along, and there'd be UNIT and Torchwood to help if something went wrong.

I think sometimes the Doctor's brilliance runs full circle and becomes thickness.

it actually is proven that the higher one's IQ, the less social skills they have. I'm quite content with my balance between the two.

...I'm not. I'm rubbish with social skills but not fantastically smart. this is not fair. I should at least be a genius if I have to be social inept.

I am glad someone feels that way.
I don't, but I'm told artists seldom do, and the papers I think are rubbish always get the best grades, so I assume, in general, I have no idea.

that's the end of a fun conversation, here's the best part:
"And what kind of Head of Security would I be if I let people like me know things I'm not supposed to know? I mean, I know what I know because I have to know it, but if I don't have to know it, I don't tell me and I don't let anyone else tell me either."
I tend to feel good about papers I think I've properly researched or developed. If I ran out of time or space I don't feel good about the paper. Which is why I got pretty upset about the most recent one. I murdered it. And when I got it back I was prepared for angry comments and the prof to be all "What the hell? YOU FAIL"...and instead? I got "your grammar really sucks and you didn't format it right, but damn, if you fix it up you could present it at a student conference or maybe even publish it!" which I know, I KNOW should make me happy. But I was furious. I didn't try, I didn't follow the directions, I did a CRAP JOB. I deserved a crap grade (I got full marks for content and only lost points for the formatting errors and the fact that punctuation and I have ISSUES). And I'd just assume I was brilliant expect that when I DO try, I get ok marks, but no one says anything. It's very confusing.

Mine encouraged it, so I was fine. I guess I wouldn't want to read a bunch of students essays though.
