Optimism? Stupidity? Script writers?

[ffutures]

Okay, the episode's only just started... and this isn't really a spoiler per se... but the opening reminded me of one of the perpetual Who-verse questions.

Given that the TARDIS usually ends up in the wrong time and/or place, why in the name of Elvis do the Doctor and Rose repeatedly assume that they are in the right time and/or place, and act on that assumption, without checking?

This Doctor's an optimist, and Rose likes to bathe in the positive glow. Plus she gets to see his face when he works out that they've gone wrong again.
