But those are all random on-screen examples of Dalek actions. You're suggesting we put a standard to this story that we have never done to any other story. Almost every non-TV non-audio Dalek story from before 2005 had some weird element that makes you raise an eye.

There's a comic where the Doctor destroys a Dalek with a rock.

There's a story where K9 blows a Dalek up with his laser.

There's a story where two Daleks are in love in the background of a cameo party.

With any other DWU villains, there's even more examples of these sorts of things.

There's a comic where the Voord are turned into the Cybermen and Maranus becomes Mondas.

There's a bunch of comics where Weeping Angels can talk, try to go on blind dates, and try to run bars. There's a comic where an Auton left over from Rose (TV story) is hiding as a mannequin and can also talk. Pretty stupid stuff. Still valid stories tho.

In the first serial with the Daleks, there's a dude who gets "exterminated" and he survives through pure will-power. Never been done again in any story. Does that make the first Dalek story invalid?

I don't think that it makes sense to discount the story purely through frivolous continuity notes.
