[QUOTE]Originally posted by Boris: [QB] The visibility factor -is- an issue here, since the level of seriousness goes down a lot below the visibility line. In-jokes in Okudagrams, senseless 4077 4747 numbers, etc. Here is the question: a) Should we derive our theories with an arbitrary visibility line in mind, thereby running the risk that the visibility may be increased by further enhances in digital technology, larger TV screens etc.... OR b) Should we ignore the visibility line altogether, and instead derive our theories based on what IS onscreen, rather than what can be SEEN onscreen. One can do both, although b) is certainly much more difficult because of all the joking that goes around, senseless numbers, Admiral Gene Roddenberrys and Rick Sternbachs, and especially little mistakes such as these. One wonders whether we should take the time to rationalize this info at all. On the other hand, much of the invisible info actually makes sense - are we to consider it semi-canon? And then again, a) will not always be easier. For instance, parts of the Defiant's MSD are visible, while others are not. Is the entire MSD canon, or is it just the deck outlines that are canon? How do I know whether the aft torpedo launcher has ever been seen (I'd have to browse through all the episodes and make sure that there is a camera pass which makes the torpedo launcher visible, and only then be able to prove its canonicity).
