	I've been reading this debate for some time and I happened to
be home when I read this one. I just finished reviewing the simulator
scene and wrote down pertinent information *verbatim*.  The computer is
the first to state that the hostiles are Klingons.  (Comments enclosed
in '<>' are my editorial summaries.)

Computer:  Alert.  Sensors indicate three Klingon cruisers bearing
	   three one six mark four.
< Granted, this only identifies the "make" of the ships, but after
trying and failing to communicate with the Klingons (referred to as
such by Saavik with no one correcting her if this had been an error)...>
Computer:  Klingons on attack course and closing.
< After the simulation and Kirk strides into the opened simulator...>
Saavik:	   Any sugestions, Admiral?
Kirk:	   Prayer, Mr. Saavik.  The Klingons don't take prisoners.

	Since Gamma Hydra, Section Ten is in or near Romulan space,
I must agree with the conclusion that the writers are senile!
