Because that seems on the level of the Doctor waiting in the Tardis until he figures something out.
No, that Doctor argument is dumb because it's out of character.
But it DID happen canonically, in "The Girl Who Waited", because the environment was infected with a virus harmless to humans but lethal to him so he literally waited in the TARDIS the near-entire episode.
