[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I think we're going to have to agree to disagree here, Guardian. If I understand you correctly (and please correct me if I'm not), you're saying that nothing outside of the episodes and movies themselves can be used to help interpret or expand upon the Trek canon, and that canon is indisputable and unalterable, and all-inclusive no matter the (apparent) contradictions. I'll try to sum up and re-state what I've been trying to say: that the original intentions of the creators [b]might[/b] trump a comment made by an outside writer who was not necessarily informed of the statistics, [b]if[/b] the original writer's guide data fits the other established facts better (like [i]Voyager[/i]'s mass). I simply feel that the 190,000 mT figure needs to be given consideration alongside the other data points, if not for completeness than for usefulness. Guardian, couldn't you at least include that data with a note that it's NOT canon, but being displayed because it may be useful IF the reader chooses to accept that source? Just so there are no hard feelings, I was never intending to be insulting with my comments -- they were supposed to be friendly jabs. My apologies if they came across otherwise. (Oh, and for the record, I'm working towards a minor in Philosophy, and I studied both logic and metaphysics with Richard Hanley, the author of [i]The Metaphyics of Star Trek[/i].) ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
