The problem is that there are easily countless stories out there just like that that we would call valid. The BBC has surely called the Pre-DWM comics "oddities" at some point. I'm sure there's heavy doubt from the people who worked at Virgin about Lungbarrow "counting." It's kind of a weak base for a conclusion in the wider context.
