That's why I've been peppering my statements with "I think" and "I believe" and
"no canon that would help". Except for the few places where I've explicitly
cited canon, most of what I've been saying in this thread was intended to be no
more than opinion, or what I myself would do were I expressing these things in
Klingon. If I've implied otherwise, reH latlh qabDaq qul tuj law' Hoch tuj puS.
