This isn't so much a factual inconsistency so much as an attitudinal one. In "The Einstein Approximation" (season 3, episode 14), Sheldon uses the ball pit in a childrens' play area at a local mall to build carbon atoms out of the plastic balls. Given the Internet rumors and stories (granted, many of which are hoaxes) regarding items that have been found in childrens' ball pits as well as their overall cleanliness, there is no way that Sheldon - obsessed with hygiene - would EVER POSSIBLY enter one of these areas, let alone swim around in one.
