Can't say I agree with that.
Alexandre Boileau, Groupe Nordik's senior director of marketing in sales, said in an emailed statement to CBC News that the survey was "reviewed in advance" but admits the company "did not apply sufficient scrutiny" to the values-based questions CROP included.
I thought about this back when they had the wheelchair-using crewman in the first couple of seasons of Discovery - I think I've come down on the side of "sometimes the old ways are the best ways" with stuff like this.
You can't suddenly lose power and crash your wheeled chair. For all we know, it's got some sort of powered unit for use when the user encounters a steep incline or flight of stairs or whatever.

I didn't think that at the time, but on rewatch...maybe? At least some of the Prodigy kids are on the memorial wall, but that doesn't really mean much in context. I'm not sure how the production timelines of the two series aligned when this pilot would have been filming, but they may even have been attempting to do a little synergy.

I've been digging a little deeper, and in "Ménage à Troi", Deanna tells Lwaxana that it's "impolite not to speak aloud" when amongst non-telepaths. It's very possible that the president is simply deaf, and they were using sign language to maintain those manners.
There definitely seems to be a spectrum - on one end, there's Lon Suder, who says he can't read much of anything, and on the other, there's Tam Elbrun, whose abilities were completely out of control.
Weird admin question here - did you do something on your end to somehow switch this post to a different community?
I'm seeing this show up as a c/startrek post with the c/daystrominstitute sidebar, which is....a new one.
