Sure it would have--first, you would have to physically see the scene to make sense of it, which I think by it's nature confirms more things than the book does. Second, you would have needed to explain who these characters are, where you are, what is happening in general (not to mention logistics with casting, set design, etc), which is really difficult to do since you haven't met any of these characters before and yet this scene is hugely important.

And then there's the final, most important part: contrary to what the internet would have you believe, the scenes in the book weren't that overt. Most people miss the references. But devoting an entire flashback to it would make it unbearably clear that this is important, this is worth remembering, and so on. Whereas the length of the books and the structure of a novel make it easy to slip in details under the radar.

I think the first season was slow, but the most faithful (which, actually, made me dislike the changes the most--when something is being really, really faithful, any deviance stands out and seem OOC), the second was stronger but meandered on many of the things that ACoK meandered on (Dany and Jon, mostly), and I'm loving the third season.

You can't say that they don't have time to include certain important things

But unlike S1 and S2, S3 is going to be split from SoS into two seasons.
