The new EE 23 might very well have made the car perform much better but it does not logically follow that the old one was "junk". Most probably the old one was assembled incorrectly, had wrong or missing gaskets, worn or incorrect jets etc etc.

I've put brand new carburetors on old cars and some perform poorly. Dried out gaskets, missing lead plugs, dried out accelerator pump etc. That did not meant the new carb was "junk", it just needed a minor repair.

I've never seen an "eroded" carb and we have 25,000 in stock and not one of them brass. Brass carbs went by the wayside about 1930, our '30 Packard has one.
