But he does say "that's not the Doctor Who universe at all."

But that's not what he says in that interview at all. As others have mentioned, in that quote Miles is explicitly just talking about Alien Bodies and Interference, not his Faction Paradox series (which hadn't even been released yet). If we exclude the Faction Paradox series based on this quote, we must remove those two EDAs as well. This isn't like his Virgin-BBC idea at all: while he deliberately tried in his books to hint that the Virgin and BBC universes were separate, he (as we've pointed out) does the exact opposite with FP and the EDAs.

In any case, per the other interview, which was given after the first interview but also before the first FP release, Miles clearly views the universe of The Anxestor Cell as the same as the one of The Faction Paradox Protocols. So I suppose, if we're to take him at his word, we should reverse the current situation and include the FP series but remove his EDAs. Go figure!

I would also like to note that The Kaldor City website uses the term "Faction Paradox universe" twice.

It does say that, just as Big Finish says Vienna is a Doctor Who spinoff on their website: purely for promotional purposes. Just as we established in the Vienna debate, the intent of the author always outweighs the intent of the publisher. The only reason Obverse's opinions are being given any merit is just that the person who runs the Obverse accounts, Stuart Douglas, has written for the FP range.
