Just because something contradicts with television does not mean it's any less of a valid or reputable source. Doctor Who has been around for 53 years: everything contradicts everything else, especially as far as early Hartnell episodes are concerned. The Doctor has one heart, the Daleks move with static electricity on only certain floors rather than with wheels like Davros created them, etc. The Monk's history in general does not seem to follow any one straight line, with various sources contradicting each other.

What we do is what we always do: "According to one account..." "According to another..."
