The Others haven't been seen in thousands of years and lore can be easily lost in that sort of time span.
At the start of the series Martin's scale was off in a few instances. The Stark family line is supposed to stretch back to the Age of Heroes 5,000 years ago. I don't think any RL families can go further than 1,000 and only a couple can do that. (Japanese Imperial family for instance.)
And the wall is 700 ft tall? 100 would be just as effective and a lot easier to swallow.

It's a fantasy book, bro. He can what he wants. Maybe the damn thing needed to be 700 feet high for some reason. I mean, shite dragons could've been huge and or been able to melt the wall if it was smaller. I don't know. Maybe some other reason.
