Speculation is reading into it like you are. We know that somehow — we don't know how — she escaped death. That's a fact. There's probably a twist to it, but it stands as a fact right now. We don't need to wait until the explanation to present facts. Facts are fact.

"The Doctor has been wrong before" is plain-out speculation. Going contrary to narrative evidence just because it doesn't apply to real life is just plain wrong. There are a billion different ways that the Claras can all exist and still be one person — it's hardly far-fetched in the world of science fiction.

We have to take what the narrative's telling us: the Doctor says they're one and the same; there's clues sprinkled throughout to insinuate a connection. There's clues all over the place. And you're ignoring it all just because she died.
