Indeed. There are some errors (volus somehow not dying when not fully encased in their pressure suits, Gillian and the other kid magically aging three years in a span of months) that just cannot be explained by saying "You also forget that we cant know what happened in the galactic society between Mass Effect 2 and 3. Time passes and some things change. For all you know, when you start playing Mass Effect 3, it could be perfectly consistent with the novel."
