But then, the scene would be dull without the contrived plot line.
What really bothered me is how did he know how to input the chemical formula using the KEYBOARD? What s/w was he using? How would he know the text command? It wasn't like he was typing in a Shakespeare sonnet he memorized.

Otherwise, the most entertaining of the trek movies.
