Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's basically how the Tal Shiar duped themselves and their entire civilization.
Only if you want to regard one of the worse NuTrek series as canon.
In TNG Data is known about in both the Klingon and Romulan empire, and throughout TNG the impression that Dr. Soong was a genius who's work is nearly impossible to replicate was really high. So the Romulan just couldn't make someone like Data.
You're confusing active suppression for inability. The Romulans aren't idiots, nor short on genius, they're deluded at their core, to the point that their intelligence alone explains the long-term survival of their civilization. The Picard series didn't invent that about them, and the stable 8-star-star-system believed to have been created by super-tech in Romulan space is old lore as well.
