*The Holodeck in universe does not have that high a failure rate, but it doesn\\\'t provide drama if it always works.
*There are two arguements against Lwazana, Natter is bad,
* Deleting the whole thing about the injured Romulan; ordering a crewmember to do something they have a moral objection to is not a moral action, and goes out of character for Picard and Riker.
* There are hints that Romulans and Klingons were \\\'close\\\' sometime in the past (being stand ins for the communists) which is why they can give each other blood but Vulcans can’t, and those healing methods refer to fixing what is still there; there are still taboos in the federation about actual cloning, and even then it’s not quite as simple as going to a replicator and ordering litres of blood.
* The Federation honours the treaty because it prevents a war, and the Romulans stick to it because not pursuing cloaking technology has left the Federation free to further anti-cloaking technology, which is good enough to render any large-scale incursion impossible.
* “The Wounded.” The counter-arguments hold valid weight.
* Measure of the man had WAY too much natter, but most of it provides enough counter examples to warrant removal.
* The difference between the two situations is that in the former the Enterprise could save the civilisation without directly interfering with them. In the latter the world was going to be destroyed, and the only way to save the people would be direct interference (which goes against the Prime Directive).
* It’s Q. You\\\'d do the same in his shoes.
* Like the tropers said; they stoped a civil war, and they couldn’t have known it would eventually happen anyway.
