Not at all. Canon simply means it's in the books. Who knows what JB would have done, or what would have happened to him if T2K was real. Would he really have survived the years of warfare and nukes, or like the majority of soldiers perished in the conflict?

Of course it is. However, we all "love" in different ways. The books at least give us a set of facts/statements to work from, not just our own (sometimes fevered) imaginations and impressions of what years of war will look like. Throwing out the books is basically the same as opening the door to chaos.

There's NOBODY saying don't post it or saying that anybody is wrong to make changes, all that is being asked is that any variation to the books is identified as such and personal opinions aren't forced upon anyone else. The majority of people already make that differentiation without a problem, issues only arise when somebody makes sweeping statements that "their opinion is the
only valid one."
