Look, everyone:
The posterboy for trekkie stupidity (PTS) does not understand that if you have a powerfull, perfect weapon, you will use it every damn time stuff gets serious.
PTS has obviously never read
real timetravel stories without the
Magic Reset Button (TM).
Otherwise he would realize how reliable timetravel can be used.
Of course, he also misses the child-level conclusion that this means that Trekwank-timetravel is NOT reliable.
Yeah but what makes you think they don't use it? Maybe species 8472 was originally a million times more powerful in an alternate timeline but the borg went back in time a sufficient number of times to where they can defeat them.
Imperial Intelligence Report #19764:
Our opponents are clearly unfamiliar with Strategy.
Posessing the means to avoid fight altogether and still claim the resources of their enemy, they choose to merely weaken him. However, for some unimaginable reason, they left the enemy so powerfull that they were still unable to defeat him.
till in posession of their weapon, they did not use it for yet unknown reasons - we suggest that their inefficient way of thinking is simply unable of creative thinking.
This seems to be a common trait of most civilisations in that galaxy - as an example, the Federation failed to realize the potential of a planet-sterilizing weapon (which they need due to the negligible poweroutput of their starships).
Conclusion: We should investigate if there is a common cause for this obvious lack of intelligence - either a disease or some other contamination. Due to the lack of military threats, this should be made our new top priority.
So there you have it: the Empire might not invade, since there might be stupiditiy-disease (which can be contracted by wanking too much to Trek).
