Considering that despite his failures Starfleet has muscled on with fleet automation ever since, no matter how many times it destroys the fleet, I suppose they consider his failure aspirational.

I must confess this is a repost of the topic from old Daystrom. But weirdly even with four new Star Trek series released since then we have had very little added to our knowledge about the Bajorans. It’s still all there to expand upon. Could be a fun aside with Shax somewhere down the line on Lower Decks
