Yes, because as we all know, Star Trek is not believable in the least. I mean, if it were, all of these things would be common place:
1) Flip open communicators, that you could use anywhere.
2) Doors that open automatically
3) Computers that respond to voice command
4) Hand held computers
5) Medical Scanning devices that do not need to cut open a body to see what is inside it
6) "Phasers" that can shoot to stun or kill
7) Hand held lasers
8) Inter-racial couples
I mean, if any of those things ACTUALLY EXISTED then we could stop making fun of Star Trek!
