Nope. I keep maintaining tech consistency an assload in my continuity, and it's something you have to keep in mind, regardless of how you handle continuity, and that... Was pretty much what I was describing. Even if I wanted (and/or needed) to be furfilling any kind of "getting off the hook/consistency" deal, I would have one (of at least a few...) zany, comedic drug-fueled ways of going about it.
