Personally I also think that the whole of the fandom (with that I mean everywhere outside this Wikia) is in agreement that these are not the same character. Even if this is true (and it's not at all my experience, for the record), what the fandom thinks is neither here nor there. The fandom also tends not to think the Doctor is half-human, and a large proportion is also against Looms; yet here we are.

Which gets us cleanly back on-topic: the fact of the matter is that even if most of the fandom tends to go with Big Finish over the EDAs in these matters, Legacy of the Daleks is equally valid to later accounts, and we can't simply mangle its storyline in a speculative effort to fit it together with The Two Masters.
