   Whoops, in my last message I forgot they were the ones who said that, so   
   obviously Amy and Rory telling them wouldn't unfix it.  So replace the   
   question with them telling Jack Harkness in 1938, or something.   
      
   But anyway, that line was obviously there as a piece of exposition   
   specifically to tell the audience "since it's a fixed point, we can't get   
   around it by changing history", and we're supposed to treat it as reliable,   
   even though you are correct that there's no real reason to believe them.
