I actually don't mind this, but I imagine it'll set of a bit of a... lively discussion.
Also I'm really looking forward to seeing what all the people who complained about Chris Chibnall's era being "too woke" are going to make of RTD's second era. From what I've seen so far, he's really not fucking about this time lol.
I think RTD has cleverly side-stepped some of the fallout by setting this little story a little while before Genesis of the Daleks. It doesn't quite work with established lore, but near enough that casual viewers might say "oh so this is before Davros has his accident or whatever".
That's literally what I thought and still kinda think even after his comments
It will be interesting to see if they address it next time we see Davros. RTD is pretty good at papering over continuity problems with a line or two:
Doctor: You've got legs! How??
Davros: The Daleks have mastery over time. It was simplicity itself to travel back and amend certain injurious events.
Doctor: You can't just -- It doesn't work like that!
Davros: [indicates legs] Behold.
