A. Star Trek is fiction. I doubt the writers really put that much thought into what they were creating. If they agonized over every potential problem their creation could cause, then Star Trek would probably still be in development.

B. Very few television shows, movies, or books are intentionally designed to withstand criticism like that. If you went and applied the same methodical search for flaws to any other work of fiction, you would most likely find just as many problems, if not more.

All in all, this sort of systematic nitpicking annoys me, as it detracts from the entertainment value of its victim.
