      Dude, we never see ambiguously “dumb” characters on Star Trek, well excepting Lieutenant Broccoli, so having an odd-ball character who’s really good at one thing, but completely fucked everything else up!? Boom, DeVito

          Pakleds are one of the goofier mono-cultures in Trek. Up there with the Tamarians on my list of “How the hell did this species learn to fly?”. The bottom of the list is the Klingons, only because we know they stole most of their ship tech from the Hur’q.

            As for the Tamarians, they’re shown to be a rather advanced species capable of taking on and disabling the Federation flagship. Their method of communication may not be very efficient to the point of conversations and actions take longer than other species. But that shouldn’t hinder their level of intelligence

              Yeah, I don’t doubt their intelligence I’m just curious about the more practical problems of society/technology. For example, what do their technical manuals look like? How do you train a new Tamarian recruit on how do maintenance? Or for that matter, how do you pass along technical knowledge at all when all of your language seems to be in the form of specific cultural references? At least with the Pakleds and the Klingons we know the answer - they stole it.
