Luke Rattigan was irritated by people who used tautology, particularly when the Tenth Doctor called his invention the "ATMOS system" when ATMOS already stood for "Atmospheric Omission System". This would be the equivalent of saying "Atmospheric Omission System system". The Doctor found Luke's reaction to the tautology insightful to the boy's personality. (TV: The Sontaran Stratagem) The Eleventh Doctor's description of Ice Warriors as "biomechanoid cyborgs" was tautological as biomechanoids are cybernetic organisms. (TV: Cold War)
