 Where's Doctor Ruth among the faces of the Doctor? She's not there because there's no Doctor Ruth. The Doctor's regenerations begin at Hartnell. Where's Ruth's before his face? It's not there because all the faces after Hartnell are those of Morbius, and Hartnell is declared as the beginning of the Doctor, not Ruth.

 Ah c'mon Aggy at least try and be serious. How can the face of a woman from a 2020 episode of Doctor Who be featured in an episode of Doctor Who from 1976 when the idea hadn't even been thought of?

 How can an abused child from another dimension that was turned into a monster possibly be the predecessor of Hartnell when the
idea wasn't thought of until 2018?

 Fiction my boy, it's fiction about a time travelling alien... so outside of the real world a writer can write any scenario he wants to in retrospect if he thinks it's good for telling the story he wants to tell. You don't have to like it, believe it, or
think it makes sense. Chris Chibnall doesn't care if his ideas
don't fit your idea of Doctor Who, or mine even. But it's what he
chose to do.

 Insisting that an idea that wasn’t thought of fifty years earlier
can’t change the course of the show is a bit bonkers anyway.

 Any new idea added to any existing literature cannot change previous
 established facts,

Yeah, like the FACT that, way back when, The Doctor could re-generate
only FIVE times. Such a minor point .... easily changed to TWELVE times!!
And then, lets give them/The Master a whole new set of Twelve!!
