[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Oh, and one more thing @ G2k: [QUOTE][b]We quickly wind up with Sagan's Dragon.[/b][/QUOTE]Except that it in this case, the Dragon has left its tracks. Spock Prime says Scotty invented transwarp beaming, therefore he did. The ship gives its date of manufacture in a certain format, therefore that is the format used at its time of manufacture. We see something happen, or see the results thereof, ergo it happens. But the converse does not hold true. You cannot say: we do not see something happen, egro it does not happen. The [i]argumentum ad ignorantiam[/i] is yours, not mine. (We haven't previously seen smooth-headed tatooed Romulans in the Prime Timeline, therefore these smooth-headed tatooed Romulans cannot be from the Prime Timeline, etc.) I find it very odd that you feel Occam's Razor is better served by positing an additional timeline than by simply accepting that we now know there are (or rather [i]were[/i]) smooth-headed tatooed Romulans in the Prime Timeline because we have now [i]seen[/i] them.
