@SneedsterSpeedster @noyoushutthefuckupdad There were some good episodes of TOS and TNG about that sort of thing, where they were faced with the reality that you could present a truth that could kill or a fiction that would keep the peace, and often it wasn't so cut and dry that they'd just kill a society every single time.
