Yes, admittedly so. Still, there is no reason to accept what Abrams says just because he says so.
Accept it  isn't on his say on his say so . It's the company who owns the rights to the franchise say so , And as I already pointed out Roddenberry didn't think Stat trek was solely his forever . Again your free not to like it but their is no reason to accept it's not cannon simply because you don't like it . By that logic anyone for any reason can say something isn't cannon

Fun fact: Wil Wheaton is now at the exact age as Patrick Stewart was when he started making Star Trek: The Next Generation

No I was simply pointing out 

1.the organization who writes the official sources gets to say what's cannon  

2. Roddenberry  believed Trek was more then his idea's 

3. Likes don't determine cannon
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.

Towards the end, he probably believed he was working on 'Gunsmoke'.

By the fact they both legally own the rights to the franchise and have creative control over it .

This is something I've given some thought to over the years... who has the final say as far as canonicity goes? Like, check this out:

Quote:Canonicity of Star Trek: The Animated Series is disputed, but is generally considered canon except where it conflicts with the live-action series and movies. It was canon for 15 years after it first aired - it was only after the first season of TNG that Roddenberry officially got it de-canonized.
https://scifi.stackexchange.com/question...-not-canon

What does this mean? He "got it" de-canonized? Did he submit it to a board for approval? We treat things like this as "official" knowing full well that there is no real officiating body. We just want the Star Trek universe to be some kind of cohesive whole, but the reality is, it is formed peacemeal by whatever the show's writers think will make an interesting episode that week.

I think the biggest driver of canonicity is "fan consensus." This is especially true with things that don't have a grand poobah like Roddenberry, whose word is treated like a papal decree.

1.Gene used his creative control at the time to argue it created to many cannon conflicts with earlier stories and paramount and most of the writing staff agreed 

2. Fan consensus is not the primary driver as it often itself internally inconsistent and based on whim 

3. It's funny because roddenberry  his words were not the cannon

Oh this is also crossover with another ST show... can you spot what?



teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
