As an {'o'megh} to this round of the canonicity problem, I read an
interesting anecdote on a totally unrelated news site today ...
Science fiction author Peter David recounted a discussion he had with the
folks who were licensing the rights to use the Star Trek characters to
Simon & Schuster (Pocket Books). The question arose: Which stories would
be deemed "canonical" -- those from TV and the movies or those in the
books? A resolution was proposed: What was on screen would be "what
really happened," while what was in print would be "just make-believe."
