I wonder if I'm the only one my age that only learned the Korean War was a thing bc his parents watched M*A*S*H

It's only finally just occurred to me that if there was a hearing to determine whether Data had the right to self-determination to join Starfleet, the issue of his right to resign was already decided. But that would have made for a really short episode, so I guess I get them ignoring that point.

Sound logic. No arguments here.
