There's a lot of talk about the Kobayashi Maru scenario and the identity
of the enemy ships and the Neutral Zone as Klingon or Romulan.

No one seems to have mentioned one possible resolution of the dilemma
that doesn't require assuming senile writers:

The Klingon and Romulan Empires are assumed to have formed an alliance.
It seems perfectly reasonable, then, that one might be near or in the
Romulan Neutral Zone and encounter ships of the Romulans' allies.  In
other words, it's not unreasonable to discover Klingon ships in the
Romulan Neutral Zone.  Incidentally, such possibilities have actually
been realized in some recent ST novels.
