LAFORGE: Computer, in the Holmesian style, create a mystery to confound Data with an opponent who has the ability to defeat him.
COMPUTER: Define parameters of programme.

LAFORGE: Computer wants to know how far to take the game.
PULASKI: You mean it’s giving you a chance to limit your risk.
LAFORGE: No, the parameters will be whatever is necessary in order to accomplish the directive. Create an adversary capable of defeating Data.
I still feel this is like a coder messing with the code and introducing a bug. Pulaski does not get what he is doign but laforge being an engineer is familiar with messing around like that.

If it’s that easy to bypass safety protocols, that’s a big issue.
Starfleet runs on Linux, confirmed.
Even centuries later, GNU Hurd still isn’t viable.
