   ???What???  No, you completely missed the boat.  In fact, the boat is   
   halfway across the Atlantic and you're still on the shore.   
      
   It was a straight question.  The answer is that it's taught them (the   
   writers and everybody else involved in the production of "Star Trek"   
   (2009)) that what they did, is what the audience wants.   
      
   Sheesh, quit looking for emotions that aren't there.
