Thanks for the feedback, and it's good to hear from people who take
this seriously :) Our defense is simply that the position of Qo’noS
was identified by Andre Bormanis and Mike Okuda, who could both be
considered as authorities on the matter.
Andre Bormanis wrote several episodes of the Voyager and Enterprise
series, as well as acting as science/technical advisor on the "Next
Generation" films. He's the author of the book Star Trek: Science
Logs.
Michael Okuda worked for Star Trek as a graphic designer, scenic
artist, and technical consultant. He's the author of Star Trek: The
Next Generation Technical Manual.
