| Sep 30, 2014 at 20:21 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @Himarm: This is about the stupidest debate I've ever seen. First, I was making a joke. Second, do you really think you can extrapolate from your measly 21st century installation to the best the 24th century has to offer (and be assimilated)? You don't think fault tolerance is a high priority when your entire society is built around merging the organic and the technological. Your entire point is pure speculation. | |

Why is a ship more susceptible that a lone worthless drone which sometimes goes on a recon mission. They probably don't ever expect intruders on a ship. | |

| Sep 6, 2014 at 18:30 | comment | added | Lightness Races in Orbit | This has always annoyed me a bit. I can't think of a decent in-universe answer, while the out-of-universe answer is obvious. | |
| Sep 6, 2014 at 3:26 | comment | added | Often Right | @BESW agreed, although by agreeing I'm not of course saying that they're dupes or anything like that! They are quite different questions, as the purpose of the Borg really is their collectiveness and how that is facilitated via technology. | |
