Sure, and the Zefram Cochrane stuff in First Contact is even earlier. It's just that we don't have any clear indication of when exactly the new series is set and my suspicion is that it's significantly more than ten years before the Kirk/Spock mission. How do you surmise 2240s–50s from the new series?
EDIT: I Riker-Googled and found this. You're right, I'm wrong.
