[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] So what you are saying, Ryan, is that *we* need not limit the collection of evidence to just the show. The problem is that if I say there is a black Defiant-class starship named Monitor, then start up Star Trek Armada and suggest that in 2373, the Defiant class had its crew upgraded to 80, some people won't accept it even though nothing in Star Trek contradicts it. They won't accept it because everyone here has a common goal -- arriving at the truth. It is impossible to do that if one is not critical of the facts, and knowing that a fact is just a figment of a published fan's imagination is not very reassuring. Even in the old days, the situation was similar. Only the books that were *well done* were accepted, and then those that came later would be accepted if they were done better, however one or another fan would define "better". This is impossible nowdays, however, as no book is better researched than our online discussions. It's an insult to us to have to include someone's book just because it got published, or because it looks nice. Another sort of screening becomes necessary, and one way to do it is compare it to canon. But here's another way. Compare it to how well its author has researched online discussions. That would be a perfect way for accepting it in *our* "fan canon". [/QB][/QUOTE]
