O’Brien did a lot of the heavy lifting in shaping Worf as a leader and a more well rounded person. Confronted him when he was insensitive toward a dying comrade and in managing subordinates on the Defiant. Not to take away from all that Jadzia gave him as well.

Data really didn’t give himself enough credit when it came to wanting to be more human (pre-emotion chip). Can androids have imposter syndrome?
