   I'm thinking particularly of the return at the end of "Tomorrow is   
   Yesterday."  Yes, it's influenced by Spock, but considering how fast   
   they are speeding through time, it seems to me that it would take more   
   than Vulcan concentration to land on the precise day, let alone the   
   precise moment.  Add to that that it also depends on other crew   
   members reacting to slow the ship to a halt at the right moment as   
   well.   
   And you're right, I should have said "suspension of disbelief."  I've   
   heard it both ways, but when I think about it, "disbelief" does make a   
   lot more sense in the context lol.
