The Scalosian incident brings back to mind several items of the
Federation discarding acquired knowledge:

Since an antidote to the Scalosian water was known, why wasn't the
effect of the Scalosian water exploited for such things as repair work
(or espionage or fighting the Klingons or...)?

Also, why was the psychokinetic power available from kyrany withheld?
Can you imagine the Klingon Commander's reaction when Kirk (or Spock)
starts having some fun with the Klingon cruiser?

For #3, for physical vegetables such as Pike, why not use the life-
energy transfer device on Camus II (Turnabout Intruder)? Finding a new
host body might be a bit of a problem...

And, of course, who dismantled the Kelvan improvements (e.g., Warp 11)?

You can't settle the issue until you've settled how to settle the issue.
