Starfleet disagrees with how you feel about a 14 year old refit.
He's a Fleet Admiral overseeing hundreds of ships. Enterprise, Endeavour, Exeter... Who remembers construction dates of each ship? He probably remembered Kirk taking the command of the ship first time twenty years ago, but didn't remember that the ship was already old by then. An easy mistake to make.
I don't see it being something Kirk would let pass that easily.
But as stated, addressing the issue would only have made matters worse. Not only would Kirk (or Scotty) be proving his ship was even older, he'd be embarrassing the man whose cooperation he vitally needed if he held any hope of the decision to be reversed.

Yes, practically, Morrow being wrong does not matter, but to me it does. To Kirk, he wishes Morrow was wrong (as he was) instead of saying the Enterprise's true old age. But I care about a strict continuity with few or no contradictions.

But there is no contradiction in a character being wrong. That's just realism fer ya.
Our heroes are frequently wrong. Sometimes we find this out in the very next sentence, sometimes in the next scene, and sometimes only in the sequel or the spinoff. Sometimes we don't find out, but that shouldn't stop us from accepting that the character did make an error.

It is unfortunate to see a fellow Starfleet officer wrong (the late Fleet Admiral Morrow) but unfortunately, it happens. I will have to learn to adapt, just like the Borg.

Good luck with that!
You're a fan of the wrong franchise then!
But I found the inconsistencies and contradictions make Trek fun and forces us to exercise our imaginations.
Exactly! It's all about thinking around the problem and wondering how these obvious and understandable production inconsistencies might all fit together if Star Trek were a real place. It's a diverting little thought experiment.You're a fan of the wrong franchise then!

After taking a direct inconstancy laser hit to our hull once our shields had failed, Captain Sheridan was among the dead. The inconsistencies may make the world more enjoyable, but they certainly don't help my memory; thinking about multiple alternate universes.

Why would I read the bible?
I'm an athiest, and not a Christian, and I do not believe in any afterlife or god.
@PhaserLightShow
Because nothing says "strict continuity with few or no contradictions" like the Bible.
I don't have the time to read such an evil book.
A book isn't evil. Only those that subvert what the book says.
