    but that misinterpreted information is all we ever heard— we never got the raw, unadulterated information from Seven in that episode. It’s tantamount to hearsay or the recollections of a person in the throes of a psychotic delusion. The only source of first-hand, unadulterated info that we can canonically rely upon was what we, ourselves, saw in VOY: S01E01-E02 - Caretaker for ourselves.

    Whatever we learn from Seven must be discounted as non-canon due to her role as the proxied Unreliable Narrator.

        Again, the information pertinent to the topic here was directly told to Seven by Tuvok.

        only that the tricobalt devices were of sufficient explosive magnitude (22 terachochranes each) to obliterate the array satisfactorily. it was her supposition that saved as speculation that there was a subspace tear based on incomplete sensor data.

        Tuvok provided no more information than was in the pilot episode which we all saw for ourselves. He merely reiterated it in the episode The Voyager Conspiracy.

        • She was asking why the yield was so high because of her supposition, but he tells her that it was because that was what was needed by his calculations, and he wasn’t 100% sure even that that would have been enough.

          The not being sure it was enough is the new information. If he wasn’t sure it would work, it would give a reason why they didn’t leave it up to a remote detonation.

            I don’t accept this premise

            not accepting your premise, I can’t accept you conclusion
