Nutz, you need to remember that The Canonists tend to pick and choose what is canon. They don't believe that Amy did the stapler licking because it doesn't fit into their worldview. They don't believe that Howard was a good son who helped his mother for the same reasons. They need to believe that Bernadette made him a better person and that means he had to be a bad person before. They need to believe that Amy and Sheldon belong together so Sheldon had to be worthless before. They need to believe that Leonard deserves Penny so every lousy thing he's done never happened. Canon is a movable feast for them. When we point out canonic inconsistency or prove that things didn't happen as they want to believe they did they cover their ears and scream "Sheldon told Amy he loves her".
