    I’m not arguing.

    of course. you are not arguing 5 levels deep in this discussion 😆

    Everything you’ve just listed were invented by ST writers.

    well, no.

    in TOS, it was under direct control of roddeberry, since TNG, there was literal <show name> technical manual for writers to refer to.

    You just seem unable or unwilling to admit that human whims can wipe it all away or change it all.

    for some strange reason, you are desperately trying to prove something that did not happen.

    Like…tell me about Klingon makeup consistency and why Disco went bananas about that. Where was the thoughtful consistency then?

    because bunch of parasites were allowed to parasite on something they knew nothing about. you do understand we are talking about warp speed in TNG, not klingons, and that you are like 30 years and the whole topic off with this argument, right?

      My friend, you seem to have forgotten this part:

      It’s whatever a set of 2-4 writers and 3-5 producers decided that week, and retconning the awkward bits later.

      We are not takling about warp 10. You are taking about warp 10. I’m taking about the fact that humans write scifi and so there are no hard and fast rules. Warp 10 is just one example. That’s the point of the comment i wrote.

      Which is why I’m not arguing, I’m trying desperately to get you to understand that you’ve been missing the point of the conversation the whole time. Which I’ve corrected you on repeatedly.

      So, again, I can’t help but think you are unable or unwilling to hold a real conversation. Even chatbots do better at this. You are welcome to think whatever you want. All I can think is that the reason you can’t understand this is by choice, or by disability. Sorry if it’s the later, but there’s no point in beating the dead horse into paste any more than it already is. Have a good evening.

        you got that backward. you are the one who is missing the point.

        i am talking about warp 10 because guess what:

        i have replied to specific point and explained why you are wrong. yes, i have noticed your desperate attempts to steer the conversation away from the point where you have been proven wrong and trying to replace it with some general “it is all relative”. i am not interested, you will not succeed.

        All I can think is that the reason you can’t understand this is by choice

        yes, this is by choice. i hope you finally understand.

        disability

        oh, my unwillingness to let you steer the discussion is a disability. finally losing the nerve, are we? fuck off, sea-lion.
