I can understand where you're coming from. I once watched a game of football, where twenty-two adult men voluntarily entered a rectangular field and spent ninety minutes running around in small groups after a ball, occasionally kicking it away from themselves and then chasing it again, unable to pick it up, despite their having hands, with others paying money to watch the whole thing. I was sure at one point that they were doing all this to confuse me.
Have you actually watched much Star Trek?
