I agree with you in premise, but not how ECS delivered. Some of the facts from Earth were needed, but how they were delivered probably was not the right way. The problem is whwre the action is at in the setting. After reading through ECS it is redily apparent it ain't on Earth even by the writer's admission in the beginning of the book.

The conflicts set up on the frontier (eg the Kafer War) is where the action is at, Earth is window dressing, backfill, history and not a viable setting for 2300AD. Tied into this is the very pedestrian efforts by the author for 2300 Earth.
