You're taking my definition of rarity out of context and misapplying it. If BBC1 replays an episode of Doctor Who, that's rare to the point of near-uniqueness. It goes against their remit. They're supposed to have something new to transmit at every hour of the day, particularly back in the 1960s and 1970s.

If BBCA transmits The Aztecs, that's nowhere near as big a deal because a) it's not the American debut and b) transmitting old episodes of DW what BBCA does.

Granted, it might have been the BBCA debut of The Aztecs. But that's about it. It's not even the first time BBCA have run so-called "classic" episodes of DW.
