The theatrical versions are the definitive versions. I regard the extended cuts as being a novelty for the fans that really want to see the extra material.

And George Lucas regards the "special editions" (with added CGI crap) of the original Star Wars trilogy as the definitive versions. That doesn't make it true. I think The Death of the Author or something similar would apply here...
