This poll is brought to you by the fact that the international version of the White Collar pilot contained scenes not in the American one...

That is usually true, but the original airing of the White Collar pilot had no commercial breaks, it was 'brought to you by whatever company' They do that a lot here. I have seen it happen where shows have some scenes that appear in that viewing and then never again in repeats ("Smallville" comes to mind here because there was a scene I loved and then never saw again but someone mentioned was on the DVD)

DW canon is... complex. Even if you go by the 'canon is what aired' belief a huge chunk of canon is no longer accessible so you're relying on spotty memories and incomplete write-ups.

Out of curiosity- which canon do you accept if facts dispute one another (i.e. an officially licensed book says one thing but an episode claimed something else)
