Well, to play devil's advocate, if it was at the time meant to be a valid story, it's difficult to go about trying to claim that other sources trump the meaning during production.

RTD's words after the start of the 2005 series probably shouldn't mean more than the producer of the episode at the time it was being made.

Everything that's been said against Shalka could every easily also be said against a story line Party Animals, and it seems that while a lot of people seem to agree that there is a difference between these two stories, not many people seem to be giving consistent answers.
