    None of these are cases I cited as being a good call and remember that my point is the blanket nature of the rule.

      On the other hand if you add some leeway you might end up with a captain trying to justify handing easily weaponized technology to a planet because he just happens to have taken a liking to someone there.

      Given how horny Starfleet can be I fully expect there to be several civilizations that ended shortly after a captain found someone there to be bangable.

        I agree.However I will take a handful of unnecessary wars if it means the universe.doesnt lose the potential of entire species because.someone.at starfleet has a god complex.
