I'm fairly certain the author felt they were being abundantly clear. If populating parallel Earths were the theme of a book I started, I would only be surprised if there
weren't many such discrepancies mentioned. The subject matter alone implies they will be present. All of them might not jump out at every reader, due to their personal histories and proclivities, but I'm sure this is one of many such instances peppered throughout.
