Lost upload footage obscured the BC-304 source caveat

A challenge to book and fan-wiki evidence leads to an explanation that the upload lost the section identifying those sources.

Question

Why did the BC-304 analysis use licensed books and Memory Delta without identifying their uncertain canon status?

Short answer

The upload lost the source discussion, and the reply accepts that the caveat should have been repeated and the missing footage noticed.

Notes

The commenter distinguishes MGM-authorized novels from screen canon and identifies Memory Delta as fan fiction. That hierarchy matters because dimensions, armament, and later events can change depending on which layer of the franchise is treated as authoritative. Roughly fifty seconds disappeared during upload, including the discussion of the evidence base. The caveat should have appeared again, and the missing footage should have been caught. The exchange is a useful source-criticism lesson whenever specifications conflict across canon, licensed works, and fan material.
