Name one that isn't a mistake, and I'll shut up. Better yet, name one that has a PLANET in the same shot as the ship is at warp while the stars aren't streaking, and I'll show everyone my big pants.
There are a handful of shots in the earlier seasons with the -D coming toward camera, and suddenly streaking AHEAD to fill the camera view as the last shot. I've always seen those as warp drive startup shots from a different perspective, one that doesn't show the rubberband, and I believe Legato has mentioned that they tried different perspectives on occasion to avoid using the few stock shots from ILM and that weird side view stretch from WHERE NO ONE HAS GONE BEFORE.
I wish I could be more specific, but I dislike most NextGens and haven't rewatched a complete episode in a couple years.

But they don't count because, as you say, that's the ship going to warp, not actually being at warp.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

BOBW is season 3/4 and hmmmm the Enterprise goes from Point A to Point B faster than light, or some might even say at Warp Speed or I'd guess at Very Fast Impulse(TM). But it didn't have to show streaking stars if it was covered in dialogue.
OTOH, if everytime a "mistake" happens where no streaks are shown while they are suppose to be in warp then we shouldn't pay attention to the dialog. Afterall, the characters are just fictitious. Telling fictitious stories. On a fictitious TV show. Based on a older fictitious TV show. That had no streaking stars.

So to prove that they are at warp even though there are no streaking stars in BOBW part 2 you are using the precedent of BOBW part 2?
You should be a lawyer, seriously.
And (again), Riker orders Wes to drop to impulse. Hence, they aren't at warp. You could argue that they are at near light speed, and time dialations are coming into effect, but you can't argue that they are at warp. Because they're not.
