This is the key line that was used for that logic:

"A movie is not a remake if it is based on the same source as an earlier film, such as the 1967 and 1998 versions of Doctor Doolittle, which were both based on the book series."

In this case @WDStudios extrapolated the logic of this to the conclusion that books based on movies fell under a similar premise as not being a true remake, which does admittedly hold, but you are correct in that this was not present and thus is merely inferred, not yet stated. I would suggest we hash out the language of the trope further before edits are made so all things edited are based on explicitly stated information as to the scope of the trope itself.
