I also agree theyve taken it way overboard in Picard with the Humans and Earth not being a anywhere close to perfect Civilisation. I was simply making the point that where the story is ongoing, (which DS9 May have actually started the trend for), the writing could get very difficult very quickly without any moral ambiguity in the characters.
Oh okay, my bad on that one then.
