My understanding is that it's something closer to "Paramount doesn't have
the time (not to mention the money) to consult Okrand on the scripts, since
they change so many times and so quickly." (obviously it would be pretty
pointless to consult him only for the captioned scripts, since then we'd
have nicely spelled horrible Klingon. wejpuH.) I know Lawrence has been
trying to convince them to use us as a resource (we don't cost more than
credits at the end, we can deliver turnaround time measured in minutes if
the right people are reachable at the right moments, and even if they're
not, P'mount will at worst be no worse off than they were if they hadn't
called us, and can fall back on gibberish). Unfortunately, I haven't heard
of any success in that direction. Lawrence, you still hoping?
