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?
Why? If for no other reason than it's Star Trek!
Moreover, if writers themselves (producers aside) can't or won't maintain an acceptable level of continuity within the fictional Universe that they culture and maintain, then they should no longer have the job of culturing and maintaining that particular fictional Universe.
Unless they're sad fanboys themselves, which they rarely are, they're never concerned with continuity.
Fair enough. At least in the context of a television show and all the pains that go along with it. But if it were up to me...NEW WRITING STAFF.
I am absolutely baffled at times by the lack of originality and thought that goes into some writing. But I suppose as Dr Brin once said of originality in sci-fi - ""Since Roddenberry & Bradbury, you'll find few others."
