The Next Generation attacts engineers and
scientists because it is the only escapist
TV program in which the engineers are the
heros. Star Wars is more akin to a classic
fairy tale where the young prince rescues the
princess and battles pure evil.

Talking about brainier people misses the point
and gets into an argument about how to measure
intelligence.
