   No, not at all. Actually I think that would be a   
   horrendous thing to do. Clear PD violation, and   
   one of Kirk's worst at that.   
      
   But my desires are beside the point. I am only   
   concerned with the evidence. Mights and maybes   
   and "would have dones" are irrelevant. Give me   
   the canon or give me nothing.

   Right, and I could very well agree with you that   
   this is a likely scenario. But I'm not interested in   
   what's likely to have happened, I'm interested in   
   what's proven to have happened.
