[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [qb] So despite all the above, we're still where we were when I said "Canon is what has been onscreen, with a few offscreen facts generally accepted as canon until either proved or disproved."[/qb][/QUOTE]Except that isn't true. [qb] [QUOTE]Taking one such fact doesn't automatically canonise all equivalent facts.[/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks! Been saying that for years. The problem is that I still believe it, but you don't. If inclusion of a novel detail doesn't confer canonicity, then the absence of such a detail cannot disprove stated canonicity. By analogy, if having turn signals doesn't make your vehicle a car, then removing the turn signals doesn't make it not-a-car. Yes, a car requires turn signals in most legal systems, but the car doesn't suddenly become a motorcycle by being in violation. So, back to the point, even if they're not extremely successful at active incorporation, that doesn't negate the fact that the non-canon informs their thinking *by design*, or that it is canon to them *by decree*.
