What is humorous about this ?!  These statements are not inconsistent.
Do you know the difference between accuracy and precision?
There are corresponding levels of meaning for consistency.
To automatically interpret consistency on the accuracy level is silly.
However, maintaining consistency with someone elses PRIOR work is quite
a reasonable means toward consistency (on the precision level).
