Hyperbole to emphasize the importance of following orders in battle, even if you think it's a mistake.

Ours is not to reason why; Ours is but to do and die

White noise. I bought a white noise machine years ago when I lived near a large emergency room that had ambulances going by all day every day. It really helped with the sirens, and when I moved away I kept using the machine. My brain now interprets the white noise as profound silence, and I sleep so deeply that I don't know how I ever got by without it.

Spock explained that they could mimic the sounds, but not the language. They would be responding in gibberish.

Maybe its programming was damaged or tampered with. It wouldn't be the first time.

Another nit about Riker's argument: at one point he detaches Data's arm to demonstrate that he's a machine. Four years later Riker's arm was amputated and reattached by the subspace aliens in Schisms.

Of Biblical Proportions (startrek.website)
 

An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.

"You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."

"Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."

Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.

Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"

And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"

TIL Joe Satriani's "Crowd Chant" was meant to be called "Party on the Enterprise" (www.youtube.com)
 

It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.
