To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of this "the Doctor lies," thing. It just seems like a writing escape hatch; I want to be able to trust the main character of the damn show, after all. But as it stands, we've gotta second guess everything he says, just in case someday it becomes convenient for it not to be true.
Like the thirteen regeneration limit. I'll bet anything that if the show is still profitable when the thirteenth actor leaves, they'll write around that in a heartbeat.
That is exactly what it is, an escape hatch. I've always felt that way too. I think they sneak it in there cleverly, but it is what it is.
