Watching the SFDebris review of "The Pegasus" again...


PNQ: Did the Federation no-cloak rule make sense in universe?


SFDebris suggests that the Romulans may have made equal concessions that we never knew about.


To me, it falls in the same category as the no-money rule. It's okay to be high and mighty about not using money just as long as we don't interact with other races that do use money. But if we do, protesting the existence of money sounds like idiocy or lunacy. Likewise, choosing not to use cloaks if we can makes the Federation look like idiots.
