I’m now convinced that most holodeck malfunctions are the result of end users, who don’t know what they’re doing, using AI to generate poorly-written software they’re ill-equipped to debug or even really understand.

    Quark had a vested financial interest in not letting his holosuites put his customers in danger. As a result, they had basically zero problems over the entire run of DS9.

    I don’t want to give capitalism too much credit, though. I’d prefer to attribute the high rate of mishaps on the Enterprise to the effect on the holodeck circuitry of all the negative space wedgies they were constantly flying through.
