And Fantomas has pointed out the DGNs are not canon. One of the DGNs said the Tanker Incident took place on March 22, 2007. Yeah, he pointed it out, but then again, Kojima felt they were canon enough to be on the Legacy Collection, and to allow the players to see the story in case they couldn't complete the game, to boot.

VR Missions is also in the collection. Your point? VR Missions were also specifically referenced in MGS2 with Raiden's comment about undergoing 300 missions prior to the Big Shell Incident, and counted on the game timeline in MGS4's Act 2.
