Why wouldn't writers want to maintain continuity in a popular fictional Universe? Ask yourself that question and that theory takes a major blow.
Why would they? Unless they're sad fanboys themselves, which they rarely are, they're never concerned with continuity. It's too difficult to maintain; so much easier not even to bother. That way you can do anything you like. It's the producers' responsibility to prevent this, and I just don't get the feeling that the Enterprise producers care either.
