Prehaps there was NOTHING wrong with the warp-drive itself but the sensors/monitors/indicator-sending units were confused by the amount of stray energy.
There was an incident in which a tech used tried to use his cell-phone in the Relay Room of a nuclear power plant here in New York and managed to set of EVERY alarm in the control room. (The signal from the cell-phone confused the relays)
The reactor control system reacted to the scrambled relays by preforming an emergancy shut-down. Aside from the tech loosing his job nothing else happend.
As for that thing Spock was working on... I never could think up a good reason for that thing... Been driving me nuts since the first time I saw it...

According to the current issue of ST: The Magazine, next month's issue (Dec) covers the DVD release of TMP. One of the tech briefings is going to be about the refit 1701. Should be interesting to see what they say (and what they foul up).
