Once again, the same can be said of any non-ordered collection of stories set in the same universe. Which is to say, your random drive-by assertion applies equally to a hugely diverse set of stories.
Once again, what you are actually arguing is a philosophy that one brings to
reading in general -- that of reading things in chronological order even when it isn't required, in order to enhance the stories with optional extras.
Once again, you are saying something which has no purpose other than to attract a flame war.
