I think Berman just said that mainly because it freed him to mostly overlook the previously established timelines and "sexify" the show with the half nude shots of T'Pol in the decon chamber.

Half nude you say...I think I must have missed that episode, damn! I really liked Scott Bakula as Captain Archer, but maybe that's just a throwback to my Quantum Leap days.

That was one of the first episodes of the show. T'Pol and Trip get exposed on a planet, and they don't know what kind of alien bacteria might have come up with them, so they have to straight into decon, where they slather themselves (and each other if I recall) with this anti-bacterial paste.
