Mar 2, 2017 at 20:02 comment added VBartilucci @Jules I thought there was something that precluded Enterprise from definitively being in the same timeline as TOS. Thankee
Mar 2, 2017 at 2:53 comment added Jules @Plutor - as the events of the show Enterprise are explicitly in a timeline altered by various time travel events (e.g. the temporal cold war, and the arrival of the Borg somewhat earlier than can otherwise be accounted for), it cannot be known for certain that the reason shown in those episodes is the same reason pointedly not revealed by Worf in the DS9 episode.

Feb 28, 2017 at 15:04 comment added Jasper It's cruel how there's this good (half-) answer and then then there's the other copy-paste-from-wikia half answer. A truly good (and complete) answer would include both the story as it was known at the time of Trials and Tribble-ations and the subsequent retrosplainin they did on Enterprise.
Feb 28, 2017 at 14:37 comment added Plutor @Krumia the in-universe answer is very much known, since we saw it in two episodes of Enterprise.
Feb 28, 2017 at 14:33 comment added VBartilucci Answer edited to specify in and out of universe facets of answer. I'd address the mutation events referenced in the other answer, but I vaguely recall that the events of Enterprise don't tie with the events of TOS, and as such may not be the same answer as in TOS/DS9 et al? Someone want to to clarify that for me?

Feb 28, 2017 at 10:53 comment added sampathsris @Plutor: Well, the in universe answer is: Unknown, it's a secret which actually is in the answer.
Feb 27, 2017 at 20:17 comment added user47739 @Plutor we shouldn't presume that unless OP specifies it.
Feb 27, 2017 at 16:18 comment added T.E.D. @Plutor - The asker should have specified that then.
Feb 27, 2017 at 14:18 comment added Radhil @Plutor - While undoubtedly true, it's also highly relevant, and more interesting than standard Trek babble (at least to me). OP can choose as they like, of course.
Feb 27, 2017 at 13:03 comment added Plutor This is an OUT of universe explanation, not an IN universe one, which is presumably what the asker is more interested in.
