    Here's the thing though... it isn't factually incorrect, and taken together with how Ethan Peck has played the character, this line could just be viewed as Spock's attempt at a joke.

      What people don't realize is that this was actually said very sarcastically. The problem is it's so hard to read vulcans no one on Enterprise realized it at the time. For another example of this vulcan sass I give you T'Lyn whose emotional outbursts got her kicked off her vulcan vessel.

        You are not wrong. Not at all. I'm really looking forward to see what they do with T'Lyn in the new season. Especially considering the closest we've gotten to a Vulcan comic relief character is Tuvok.

        I have something I've been meaning to post which is a comedy bit pointing that out. That to Humans Spock comes off as super straight-laced and square but to Vulcans he's too emotional and prone to outbursts.

    Couldn't that be cannonically explained as Spock being secretive about his past?
