Should Paramount digitally alter the TOS Enterprise?

The new version of the 1701 is the standard version going forward. I doubt they’ll go back and modify older works, but I doubt we’ll ever see it again in new content not intentionally trying to look old.
 
My feeling was that the D did look a little different in Picard? I mean, it's not a bottom up redesign, and it's just a dream, but something felt ever so slightly different about her?
I think it’s different enough for a build a model magazine to scrap the entire magazine because of it.

Just to upset the upsettable, I want to point out nowhere does that hologram say Enterprise as far as i can tell. There have been two ships shown like this, so there is a 50% chance it is the USS Ravenous

which of course implies a Galaxy Class Ravenous for even bigger breakfast hunger.

It's been told to me that the Galaxy model does say "NCC-1701-D" on it. We see an overhead and underneath shot of it, so that would make sense, but I can't make it out in the YouTube clips I just checked.

My belief is that it just cycles through random flagships, and the Constitution could be the Enterprise (c. 2258) or it could be any Constitution class or prototype that achieved fame. It was coincidence (and authorial fiat) that Picard walked in as the Ent-D popped up.

Or maybe the computer recognized Picard's biometrics, and shifted the holographic display accordingly, in a sort of Minority Report kinda way.
 
I know Ten Forward is in the wrong place, but beyond that I just thought it looked like they'd made it a little more boxy?

I don't know if I'm imagining it or not though. Has anyone else discussed this yet?

That wasn't necessarily Ten Forward. The Rick Sternbach plans showed several side lounges.

The discrepancy I recall reading was that the hologram of the Galaxy Class ship showed the shuttle bays being the same width.
