Take that argument to its limit and there shouldn't be any Batman or 
Superman movies at all, since none of them have ever been compatable with 
the comics. 

Come to think of it, take that argument to its limit and any series about a 
time traveller in a police box that isn't an edutainment show that 
alternates between space opera and straight historical shouldn't call 
itself Doctor Who.
