True. And Picard sort of brought up his record, but didn’t put the nail flush with it. He should have called Asshole Of The Day to the stand and asked “why now?”
Another perfectly legitimate argument would have been “Data is a critical member of my crew, the third in command after me and The Recurring Asshole <gestures vaguely to Riker,> his sudden absence would constitute a severe degradation in ships performance while we’re on a critical mission to patrol the neutral zone. A mission of such importance they’ve just established this star base.”
But naw. Let’s focus on if he can be turned on and off again. I vote we demonstrate the feature in Ryker.
