Hello, All.

I was reading some things on Quora.com earlier. One question struck me as very
oddly worded.

I'm assuming that it has to do with the series Picard.

"Did Admiral Picard come to understand that the Federation in the end turned
out to be a Utopia that expelled him?"

As far as I recall, and without giving away spoilers, Picard wasn't expelled
by the Federation, or by Starfleet for that matter. He resigned his commission
or retired. From Starfleet, which is not the Federation, but a part of the
Federation.

I see two answers posted, both say that the question isn't what happened. But
neither really address the fact that there is a difference between the
Federation and Starfleet.

Is it just me, or is it really that common a thought that they are one and the
same?
