Spoiler and things

But we don't know for certain that John Hurt is another incarnation?

Moffat likes leading you on. He said the Doctor definitely died in the Series 6 opener, and he didn't. People got all worked up over The Name of the Doctor, as though there was any chance they'd actually say it out loud on screen. And The Next Doctor wasn't the next Doctor either. If anything, the over-the-top dramatic introduction that is supposed to leave no doubt whatsoever that John Hurt's character is the Doctor is an indication that he's anything but.

The Valeyard is more likely, imo.

"The Valeyard is more likely, imo."

This presupposes Moffat actually
A) Cares about prior canon
B) Paid enough attention to prior canon to address it properly and
C) will be able to resist his trademark move of squatting and defecating over everything that came before all for the sake of a gimmicky twist/tagline/vapid idea that goes nowhere fast. Works for sitcoms and soap operas, but not so much for good SF/fantasy, IMNSHO.

Er, yes, I agree with OP. However, I lost my patience looooooooooooong before Moffat came onboard. And I really really really really really DO NOT WANT to see the Moffat version of "Trial of a Time Lord," thanks.

He cared enough about prior canon to namedrop the Valeyard in the episode.
diabolicalfiend: Miles Richardson, looking concerned that the sign saying 'SAP' means him. (writing)

He does care, he just can't address things properly, likely because of the aforementioned soap opera/sitcom experience. And yes, Valeyard was very deliberately namedropped.
