There's some serious room for interpretation there (not that they're 
gonna sweat the details anyway).  We know Spock served with Pike for 11 
years, and that The Cage was 13 years before The Menagerie.  But we 
don't know that Spock and Pike were on the Enterprise that whole time, 
or where in the 11 years The Cage takes place, or even if the 11 years 
are continuous.
