I am not a fan of any analytical method that involves picking and choosing what parts of a work do/don't count--in this case, especially the parts that help lend that work its particular atmosphere and are otherwise not indicated to be non-canon fluff. If the approach had been "the non-sheepy dream levels' subplots probably have more to do with the Security Officer than the main plot and were designed to have multiple readings, so for simplicity's sake we're putting them to the side", I wouldn't be nearly as bothered. 'cuz then we're not claiming that levels that are placed in the canon level sequence, mandatory to progress, and seem to have an impact on the main plot in terms of what the SO is experiencing between jumps...arbitrarily didn't happen, for no reason other than that it's not immediately obvious how they fit in. Same for Ne Cede Malis's end terminal. If I were writing these, I'd just acknowledge that it's a strange terminal and move on, not claim it's a "non-diagetic" message in a series whose non-diagetic terminals aren't mandatory reading. (And before you repeat what you said to VBB: no, I really don't think that Double Aught would break that particular convention for one non-dream level.)
