Were the Manchus really the first to use sleeper agents or something? Is that the reason for the trope name?

Pulled this:

  • One Dalek scheme involved sending Daleks to World War II-era Britain to serve in the army. Their memories were altered so that they'd think they were actually British war machines. When the Doctor saw Daleks employed by Britain, he panicked and attacked them, declaring, "I am the Doctor and you are the Daleks!" This made the Daleks revert into the Omnicidal Maniacs we all know and love. At the same time, it confirmed that they actually were Daleks, allowing them access to a machine with which they could repopulate the Dalek species.

Nope, they were just pretending. The whole thing was their scheme to get the Doctor to say those words to access the machine. They reverted because they didn't need to pretend any more.
