“Yes, I believe I already have some sensation of feeling. Please stimulate the nerve endings and observe the physical reactions, one by one. In each case, I shall tell you when the probe is correct. You will then seal using the tri-laser connector.”
That was the extent. He told him what nerve caused which response.
"KIRK: Well?
MCCOY: How do I know? I could have made a thousand mistakes. Sealing nerve endings, joining ganglia. The fluid balance is correct, but I don’t know.
(Spock sits up and stretches.)
SPOCK: Congratulations, Doctor. And thank you."
And again, Spock was Vulcan, not himan. Just like Data had broad expertise.
Pulaski was human yet was the Federation’s top heart surgeon, top virologist, and cured several blind people who had Geordi’s condition. You can be good in many areas. But the best in the Galaxy out of all humans in multiple fields?
But your entire premise that if I don’t accept Pulaski then TOS is bad is flawed. As you said Kirk talked computers into burning out with a logic problem. Is there any modern Scifi movie or episode that you think is bad? If so I can say you are wrong because Kirk talked computers into burning themselves up.
If you can accept Kirk, then you can accept Battlefield Earth.
