[[folder: Fridge Logic ]]

* ''Brave New World'' features Picard making an argument about spreading [[spoiler: Iconian gateway technology]] that relies significantly on [[MutuallyAssuredDestruction MAD]] logic, specifically using the term and citing how it worked on Earth. All well and good... until you realize that in Star Trek, it ultimately ''didn't'' work -- the Cold War might have ended without a nuclear exchange, but the conflict between ECON and the USA's alliance-system led to WorldWarIII and then to the Post-Atomic Horror. That's just ''Earth'' history, there are several other examples of MAD logic failing strewn about in the pre-change timeline.
