When there aren't any Ducks.
Memory and experience. You know what a Duck Pond is, you've met one before. Doesn't matter if there aren't any Ducks in it at any given point. The point is - it being what it is isn't conditional on the presence of Ducks.
A Duck Pond simply is what it is and you know that. If the answer was conditional on what you're eyes told you - then you would probably be lead astray.
Use your heart and your head, in other words. Don't be confused by what your eyes show you - the eye knows nothing. Only what it sees.
What's wrong with this picture?
Everything. Everything there could possibly be to be wrong. There it is. In triplicate. This isn't real. It isn't what happened. The Doctor is simply a good man often faced with impossible choices. But this....
This is his nightmare. All it is. What he fears the truth of himself. What he fears the sum of his life adds up to.
It's not the actual thing.
Use your heart and your head. Trust your instincts. Non of what you see here happened in the future.
