What is canon is a matter of definition, and definition is set by consensus, so, uh, yeah, actually numbers do matter here. You can only claim the argumentam ad numeram fallacy in case of physical facts etc., not in case of conventions. Anyway, your particular insistence is just obnoxious. If you don't want to deal with MK's texts, fine. But don't force your particular dislikes on everybody else.

No, canon is not set by a consensus... unless bethesda decides it is, no fan no matter what their position (ex employee or not) no matter how many there are gets to say what is what in the elder scrolls universe.

THE FACT the absolute beyond a shadow of a doubt fact is that MICHAEL KIRKBRIDE DID NOT CREATE THE ELDER SCROLLS UNIVERSE, and DOES NOT WORK AT BETHESDA.

What right in any sense does he have to say what is canon? the problem with kirkbrides bullshit is that people take its word over the actual canon like drooling idiots.

Its either leaks, or fan fiction, you cant have it any other way unless bethesda says its not.

and sorry, i used the wrong name for the logical fallacy.

by the way, your only idiot arguement in favor of kirkbride being canon is "nu-uh he totally is canonshut up because I said so, and lots of people say so"

you sound like a damned child!
