The difference between filler and canon is that the latter has more effect on the series.

A filler is every scene and episode that does not adapt the source material and only exists to give the creator of the source material more time to create more material. There is no need to specify what is filler and what is not, because it doesn't affect the canon.

Canon is the official material of a series, but depending on who you ask, the answer to what is part of that and what isn't varies. So if the databooks aren't canon in someone's eyes, using them in a discussion to prove something becomes bothersome, since the'll simply deny the legitimacy.

Hence why I don't think VS discussions make sense, but well... :D
