That is incorrect. You are quoting a non-admin's opinion on why DIT was declared invalid. Read admin comments (specifically User:CzechOut's) in Forum:Is Dimensions in Time canon and the two discussions linked from there to find out why DIT is not valid. Fair enough, but we have a short story set in the Cushing universe stating the other works set there take place in an alternate universe. While at the time, the films weren't intended to be part of the DWU, retroactively, The House on Oldark Moor establishes it as a different universe - but still valid. Didn't we use retroactivity to deem Sympathy for the Devil valid due to The Unbound Universe establishing it as an alternate universe? How are the Dalek movies different?
