I don’t find this answer very satisfying myself

Yeah, I can see what they're trying to do, but it seems like it needs a little bit more push to make it be a viable/acceptable reason why.

I guess at this point you're right, we just ignore and move on, though I do wish the writers weren't so 'hand wavy' lazy about their worldbuilding.

    Not that it's especially convincing but I think that the idea was that he was 'playing a game' when he'd been doing that stuff with the salt and then thrown it out into the ether for no reason other than messing about.

    Or something? I don't know. Much as I love a lot about RTD as a writer, he's definitely not a details man on story elements...
