As long as we're on the subject of shields......

In one of the movies, the Enterprise's shields are displayed on a panel as
a set of dots which ever-so-slowly encircle the ship (counter-clockwise, I
think) as they go up.  Question:  what's the best excuse to disclaim this
display panel as a silly device which in no way reflects the E's speed at
hauling the shields up?

p.s. why did Bones so quickly give up his distrust of transporters in the
first film?  I rather agreed with him.
