I think my main problem is that, because he doesn't directly address these issues, the characters never do either, learn from them. So if you do see the subtext, it's ultimately unsatisfying. And if kids do realise the Doctor's at fault for some things - because some will - they also see him never getting explicitly called out on it. I think it would be better to make it obvious the Doctor made a mistake, and show him facing that and being better for it.
