Bethesda is a political party who doesn't announce it's policies. Then again, it is very clear that Bethesda do largely agree/endorse/follow what MK says. They are still fitting it into the lore and current members (Kurt Kuhlmann) have spoken of his importance. The best policy to go by is that it is 'canon' until directly contradicted in-game. This is the same with any out of game texts, including those by current developers. That's not how it works. That's like saying ''you're guilty until proven innocent. ''It should be the other way around, it's not canon until it's directly proven ingame. But that's the point. There is no definition of "how it works". And it's not like guilty proven innocent as that can work both ways round. IE. "OOG" is guilty (not valid) until proven innocent (verified) in-game. There's almost no mention of LoS and Infernal City in-game. That does not make them invalid. Bethesda also had paragraphs of info about Arena and Daggerfall on their website long ago with stuff not mentioned in-game. That does not make them invalid. It is a far more nuanced question, and is meant to be left open as such. Hence we allude to it but don't state it as canon.
