Also the ST foundation was laid in the 60's and they have had to find a way to update it, without throwing out the basic ideas laid down in the past. It wouldnn't make sense for exammple, if the TNG warp drive was different than the TOS warp drive because of some discovery made in the 1990's would it?
OTOH, that hasn't stopped them from changing what the warp speed numbers mean from series to series. That was a deliberate decision by someone, not a continuity error.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft
