I somewhat agree, but not too much. There have been a number of (mostly
minor) inconsistencies between the Store-Bought Diary (SBD) and the show,
but given the excerpts as read in the show, it's evident that Lynch/Frost
want us to believe that the SBD is the real magilla.

My own method is to accept anything from the SBD as canonical *unless
contradicted by the broadcast episodes*. In the event of such a conflict,
the show takes precedence.
