Now at the risk of pissing off Star Trek fans, they do have to know that just like Big Bang Theory distorts the reality of scientist's geeks and atheists, Spock and Kirk were metaphorical characters, but also distortions of what constitutes logic.
Metaphors are not bad, but should never be used to replace reality.
Even Star Trek fans can flip out when you tell them the show did not invent anything. The things we have now were due to scientists and inventors outside that show. The same sample rate error causes the fans to miss all the things in that show that will never be a reality like Tribbles and Klingons.
No different than when religion points to the pretty things in their motifs which occur outside their clubs.
I have a friend just last week reminded me of an evolutionary fact, people can and do divide over everything. He is a country music fan, and has told me that banjo players literally fight over which is a better type of banjo. No different than people fighting over their favorite sports teams.
You can literally take several people who do not know each other, say 12 people who have never met and don't know anything about each other, divide them up, create a game for them to play, 6 on each side, and the rivalry kicks in.
