I think the problem with the early episodes - Susan's coining of TARDIS being one of them - is that no one expected the show to last more than one series until the Daleks took off.
Even then it was 6 years later before we had any Time Lord back story.
Thinking about it wasn't a SIDRAT also a TARDIS prototype? It's years since i watched The War Games. Perhaps Susan lied all along about the name just to appear clever in the eyes of her teachers and it was a phrase used by the Time Lords already.
