	Don't be too hard on Kirk for originally allowing Khan to read the
Enterprise library, which in turn might have given him useful information
for the Reliant vs. Enterprise battle; remember 1) those tapes were 15
years out of date, and concerned a virtually different ship, and 2) Khan
had the Reliant with crew, and could have extracted up-to-date tactical 
information on Enterprise very easily.  The fact that Khan read the old
Enterprise library probably didn't make much of a difference.  Even 
without that, Kirk would still have been caught with his pants down.
