Technobabble is a crutch
By Greenspan

Technobabble is a crutch for lazy writers, like Brannon Braga. Most of the time, it's total bullshit and the audience knows it, which undermines whatever respect the show is trying to earn. It insults the audience, especially when you use it to resolve the story, the way Braga has often done. How exciting is it to watch the good guys beat the bad guys through some technobabble trick? Kudos to Ron Moore for recognizing how lame this kind of writing can be.
