"Zero Hour"

This was a goof listed for "Zero Hour" on IMDb.
At the end of the episode, the Xindi-Aquatics carry Enterprise back to Earth. They arrive in Sol System, the Xindi release Enterprise and leave. As they approach Earth, Reed and Sato notice something isn't right. Eventually, they discover they have somehow been transported back to 1944. This leads to the question: why didn't the Xindi realize something was off (like the stars not being where they should be)?
I figured that Daniels probably transported the Enterprise back 200 years at some point between leaving the Xindi hangar bay and entering Earth orbit. They were still pretty far from Earth when the Xindi released them, just a small blue dot on the viewscreen. The Xindi-Aquatics probably paid no further mind to the Earth ship after it was out of their hangar bay, and so didn't notice (or just didn't care) as the Enterprise disappeared from their sensors just before re-entering the FTL vortex.
