If it truly weren't canon, it wouldn't be acknowledged at all, not even in the flashbacks. Think how Snake's Revenge is not acknowledged at all.

Now, that being said, Rising's canonicity IS debatable, and we don't even need Kojima's contradictory word to know that Survive ain't canon. Portable Ops WAS canon until Peace Walker came out. It isn't anymore. MGSV sealed the deal completely. And using flashbacks and Snake's Revenge as an excuse doesn't work. Snake infiltrating Galuade was mentioned in a MGS4 gun description. Yet, Ghost Babel is obviously not canon.

Also, the Database is obviously outdated so I wouldn't consider it reliable anymore. Again, Portable Ops WAS canon until Peace Walker came out. It isn't anymore. Get over it.
