[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] The argument is not that it was intended -- I merely suggest the traditional recourse of using the design size if it fits other evidence, especially since there is a small uncertainty in the escape pod measurements. Part of the problem is that this clearest, structural escape pod evidence came up after everyone became tired discussing the ship based on just the VFX and the MSD, without realizing the uncertainty range in the VFX or the inaccuracies in the MSD. Another issue is that of approach -- one can argue for a more commonsense approach based on what the average viewer would see -- after all, you're not supposed to look closely at a TV show and accept certain errors; that's the nature of the medium. However, given that the tendency here is to go beyond the obvious into Okudagrams, distant ships and such, it also makes sense to go beyond the VFX and the MSD into other areas such as dialogue and indirect scaling evidence. I'm not trying to explain these uncertainties and errors -- the idea is to focus on that which is fairly certain, namely the 5+ deck count and the size of the Intrepid pods, while leaving out the unexplained dramatic variations that occur with a lot of ships with or without reliable scale indicators.
