It is true that etymologically, "cannon" as what is true for a fictional universe is derived from "cannon" in ecclestial law. That doesn't mean the same rules apply, it only means, well, etymological derivation. You only posted the ecclestial definition of "cannon", not the derived definition. I mean, high ranking Presidential advisors in the USA are sometimes called Czar, an etymological derivation from the former Russian Emperors; that doesn't mean they consider themselves to have divine right like the original Czars did.

" Kirkbride does not work for bethesda, thus none of his unsanctioned works should be considered canon"

And that step is where you logic chain breaks down. This "thus" is wrong.

Also - the edit function! Use it! Instead of responding two times to the same post of mine! That's just silly!
