The only argument I’ve ever seen that might counter it is the opinion that Tuvok and Neelix died in the accident so aren’t a consideration

How’s this for an argument. Fuck neelix right in his stupid face.

On a more reasonable note, tuvix really was the perfect blend of two extremes. He had neelix’s desire to please people, but with tuvok’s intellect and logic to temper him he was wildly more effective. He could actually cook, fixed ship problems, and even helped figure out how he was created (and, consequently, how to uncreate him).

Janeway’s choice was still the correct one, but if I had a vote I would’ve kept him around.
