Did Tuvok really need to blurt out in front of everyone that the Romulin scientist had died 4 years ago, so their personal messages might not have arrived?
Talk about a buzz killer. He instantly lowered morale on the whole ship for no reason. Just STFU, tell Janeway in private.
Agreed. Straight-up, party-pooping, moral-busting, punk-ass bitch. No one ever needed to know that.
shareHe's Vulcan. They're pretty hardcore on the truthiness thing.
shareHere's the thing that's always bothered me about the Vulcan logic. Within a pure Vulcan group, it works from a pure logic standpoint . But humans are emotional. Logic would dictate that human emotions should be accounted for when interacting with a blended group that included humans.
So, just in this example, since emotions would be a factor in this context, the logical thing to do would be to have more tact and judgment in what he says and how he says it.
No the Vulcans would argue that doing that would be like giving alcohol to an alcoholic.
I see your point. After all, using some tact about when/how to disclose the info is not lying. Maybe a Vulcan wouldn't agree and would think allowing an untruth to perpetuate is never acceptable.
