[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MeGotBeer: [qb]It seems to me, intentions are nice, but the spoken dialogue outweights that.[/qb][/QUOTE] That is a completely arbitrary decision. So is taking visual evidence over spoken evidence. Either way, you're just choosing, [i]subjectively[/i], to accept one kind of evidence over the other. Do you have a pressing reason to assume that spoken dialog is more valid? A case can certainly be made that visual evidence outweighs spoken evidence. People make mistakes, and occasionally aren't called on them. People make jokes, use sarcasm, and otherwise distort the truth. Someone around here likes the idea that Riker has a well-known affinity for a [i]Yamato[/i] 1305 and wby inventing the 1305-E registry as indicating his feelings that the original [i]Yamato[/i] was slighted by not getting suffixed descendants. People's spoken word has all sorts of variables attached... our eyes do not. Note, I am [i]not[/i] suggesting that visual evidence should take priority over spoken evidence. I am, however, suggesting that choosing one or the other is arbitrary and therefore influenced by subjective opinion. This is why producer intentions are more than simply "nice." [i]Star Trek[/i] doesn't exist in any form save the creation of the aforementioned producers; that is, we have no obligation to remain within the context of it's fictional universe because we are aware of the reality behind it. The 1305-E registry was a [i]mistake[/i], and that is objectively undeniable. For the purpose of the [i]Star Trek[/i] universe, the producers are omnipotent. Expressing their intent is a matter of divine revelation. :) So, by all means, use 1305-E registry for whatever registry cataloging purpose you have for it. Use it to justify suffixes on ships of your own creation if you wish. But don't assert that the 1305-E registry is, objectively, more accurate than 71807, because it is not. [/QB][/QUOTE]
