Nevermind this: saw other thread. Disregard.

Wouldn't he correctly be the 13th Doctor - as;

01 - William Hartnell

02 - Patrick Troughton

03 - Jon Pertwee

04 - Tom Baker

05 - Peter Davison

06 - Colin Baker

07 - Sylvester McCoy

08 - Paul McGann

XX - Jhon Hurt

09 - Christopher Eccleston

10 - David Tennant

11 - Matt Smith (later considers himself the 12th)

13 - Peter Capaldi

Because the 11th Doctor considers the War Doctor to be a "true" Doctor as they even discussed - but the 10th (and the War Doctor himself) won't remember that so they retain their numbers of ignoring the War Doctor?

I am not suggesting the War Doctor be considered the eighth Doctor by himself or any other Doctors except Matt Smiths' Doctor...
