I think part of the lack of continuity is due to writer turn over once a show has been around as long as TBBT has. It gets to the point where most of the writing staff wasn't there in the early days and their knowledge of past episodes is spotty, the show runner is different and has different priorities than the original (an agenda if you will). The way sitcom writing rooms work bouncing potential ideas around they probably get confused on what is fanon(or personal headcanon) and what actually happened on the show. Does the showrunner care? Is there a Bible it keep track of this stuff or are they just throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks?
