They literally didn't have Picard's dad do anything to contradict his views from TNG. He just showed up in a Starfleet uniform for the head game first part, then he showed up in pretty traditional garb once Picard realized he was talking to a mental projection of his dad.You can make excuses, but that's all they are. They specifically made his brother to reflect their father's views, so they were at least internally consistent in TNG about that.
Also, you don't get more traditional and anti-tech than locking your mentally ill wife in a room when you can't force her to get treatment.
If there's a specific contradiction, please point it out to me, because I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what you're specifically talking about.
