Never heard of it termed as such.
To be fair, Starfleet was much much smaller than previously seen, so Vance is likely as active as a Fleet Admiral would have been c. TNG/DS9.

Well, I guess it is about time for another one of Trek's writer commentary episodes.
I'm laughing my whole way through. This will be fun.

The Doctor appears to be crying. My poor, poor canon! (Yawn)
Seriously though, while the answer is mostly "who cares?" I have always wondered why the Doctor has most of his facial expressions, which correlate with his emotions/reactions. I could see that is not a good design choice, if the purpose of his original programming having a personality at all was to give the patient a sense of ease. Nothing less reassuring than the Doctor looking surprised or scared.

The Doctors physical form was created by scanning Doctor Zimmerman, there was no design choice involved in his physical capabilities and appearance other then that.
So does the Academy have a different campus for each year then if Tilly is in the Beta Quadrant with the third year cadets?
Drew the short straw I guess.
More seriously, why can't she? Maybe she did theater as a kid?
Someone has to teach the class.
That's how one of my friends ended up teaching drama.
defo theater kid vibes?
Yep.
Because it's an extraordinarily involved subject and her schooling is 900 years out of date.
Truthfully, improv acting is probably one of the more important classes for a Starfleet Cadet because of how important the skill is for away missions. So you absolutely do not want anything less then the professionally trained best.
I can't take this post seriously,
That's kind of ridiculous of a statement. Zimmerman's appearance mapped onto a holographic frame, maybe is that simple, but the aspects of his personality, every blink or twitch, every raised voice or whisper, every shake of the head would have to be programmed. If we think of the Doctor as like a modern LLM, with the added layer of body language and tone, every movement would be calculated as to the probability of its having a preferred medical response (in this case having a good bedside manner to promote healing). Even if poorly done, it would all be extremely complex programming, given how much more advanced the Doctor is. If I am at all understanding the computer science.
Of course, if the Doctor had a preexisting "soul" that was copied from Zimmerman and transcendentally imparted body language to the holographic output, I guess then it's just that. Star Trek A.I. does seem to have a magical quality.
I believe Tuvok did once for some reason I can't remember.
Neelix possibly.
Edit: Seven cried when the other Borg children left the ship, and after Icheb saved her life.
