Well, if you came up with some reason for him to have *said* that he's 34, it would fit the canon because it would not contradict what happened on the show
No, to use Neil's terminology, it would be subcanonical. Canon is what happens on the show; subcanon is an intepretation not stated in the show
but
which would not contradict it, noncanon is something which goes against
the
canon. The argument here is not about "fitting" or "not fitting," or what sort of clever explanation one can come up with, but about what *is* on
the
screen.
If we're going to be picky about what is and is not canonical, then we ought to bear in mind that Blake said nothing about his age. It was a *clone* that said he was 34 (and born five hours previously).
