While there may be a few or even plenty of contradictions in tying the story together the way they did, it is intentionally meant to be considered canon. While I have my own personal disagreements with parts of how it was done as well, there's really no point in arguing it isn't. Everyone can disagree with aspects of it, disregard it entirely or even take to the idea that it's an alternate outcome but at the end of the day: those are personal observations.
