Here I must disagree strongly. This is just a speculation. We know exactly what is stated onscreen, no more and no less. There is no point in listing the multiple differences between the real universe and the simulation. The clue is in the name "Extremis" (email). We are not even sure when the simulation started.

In addition, from the pragmatic point of view, sticking the "Extremis" part onto long pages such as Bill Potts and, especially, Twelfth Doctor is a sure way of making that information very hard to find and access.

As for Moira, if her recurrence hinges on two throw-away lines in Extremis, it is not very notable to fight for. Sure, we have such recurrent characters in, say, Nerys. But it's not terribly important to note or not note that they are recurring. In a certain sense, Trisha Delaney is more notable than both of them put together, having made it to the audios without making a single appearance. On this microlevel of recurrence, certain randomisation is unavoidable.

Now I'm done answering the preceding post. The floor is yours.
