I totally get that but at the same time if they didn't want shows to be connected in anyway they wouldn't have gone through to trouble of trying to include them. IMO I don't think Smallville and Arrowverse should ever have their continuities clashed because that idea in itself is enough to give me a headache but it's happening anyway. We don't make the rules, it's not up to us to say "This show isn't related or part of said universe because it only appeared [Insert number here] amount of times." These people make the shows therefore they can do what they want even if it's VERY convoluted. They could've had Cress Williams play an Arrowverse exclusive version of Black Lightning that wasn't from the show but they simply didn't and his show is said to be impacted by the Crisis as well.
