I can let the whole timeships thing slide. I can therefore let the Pilot = Doctor thing go unquestioned. For me, allowing the male and female companions to be named just on a brief description alone is taking it too far. It's like having certain privileges and then overusing them. Compassion and Fitz cannot be identified by appearance or personality alone... nor can the incarnation of the Doctor... we need a much more solid connection.

That's my honest opinion. I don't think we can call ourselves a good encyclopaedia of the Whoniverse if we're going around making random connections just because an unnamed character is described extremely similarly to a named one in another work. :)
