36.) It's perfectly reasonable for the top command structure of Starfleet to meet above ground in a transparent-windowed building w/o simply using secure videocasting from hidden, protected locales AND that only Kirk immediately realizes that error after thousands of years of civilizations and fighting have already elapsed.
Even the US govt since the 1960's makes sure that the President and Vice-President are never together, but instead communicate via secure lines.

38.) It's ok to think that an object as big as a starship would actually burn up in Earth's atmosphere rather than simply slam into the ground.

39)It's perfectly reasonable for 24th Century Earth to have no planetary defenses against incoming space debris let alone an actual alien invasion .(That comment was first observed at the film's original screening. )
40) It's perfectly reasonable for hip hop music to still be popular after 300 years.
That's just my two cents.

THANKS FictionalMan!!! I really, really appreciate that! ☺
No, I think you really gave me more like 2 (pre-computer) bits worth, not 2 cents worth! lol
