You missed this part which sounds, if you take it out of context, like the description of a totalitarian leader: "intuitive understanding of the fundamental importance of psychology in influencing electorates and global geopolitics".

Aww... I liked this thread too

It would have been nice to have a follow-up episode based on the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis -perhaps involving why the Klingon language might induce agressive behaviour - but mainly because of the similarity of Whorf to Worf.

When Deanna was trying to get Worf to be more romantic, was she testing the Sappier Worf hypothesis?

Almost certainly. Of course, S R Delaney used the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis in his story "Babel-17".
