I don't see how we can ignore canon given the way numerous incidents were played
We all ignore large amounts of XF canon, as it suits us. Almost all of us can agree that CC often didn't know what he was doing, and often seemed not to have the best understanding of his own characters. What you're saying is that you don't see how we can ignore this bit of canon, because you have no inclination to do so. But in the grand scheme of things, this is a relatively small and easy bit of canon to ignore.
I know that the desire to bear a child is often irrational, but Scully isn't irrational.
I agree completely. She also isn't selfish or foolhardy, which she would have to be if she planned to have a child in the midst of an oncoming planetary war.
