>It is surprising to me to. If this was Star Trek world, you'd have computational models built by experts shared and discussed the very first day The problem with Star Trek (esp. TNG) is that it doesn't reflect reality at all. It gives you the idea that the people in charge really know what they're doing and are competent. In our reality, this simply isn't the case. I love watching TNG reruns to relax. It lets me fantasize about living in a well-run society run by mostly competent people. That's not the society I live in now, but this is why this form of entertainment is called "escapist".
