      That’s my point. He is enough of a fan to know the connotation. He knows what the name implies, and company names are a deliberate choice that imply things about that company.

        I wonder if this is a “Star Trek is a conservative show” sort of thing. Like he’s genuinely not smart enough to actually understand what is right in front of him.

        I mean it probably isn’t, but it also wouldn’t surprise me to find out that the whole deeper meaning of the entire thing was entirely lost on such a shallow excuse for a human.
