Can you imagine? This is like the James Bond themed Omega watches that say 007 on the dial. Makes it a bit hard to maintain that you work for the Far East Import/Export Corporation.

They just mention black badges. They are never explicitly called Section 31. Section 31 needs legitimate operational fronts to conduct operations.
Indeed, it's easy enough to assume that during the time of DISCO S31 (at least the public-facing side of it) was considered a legitimate organization that at some point got decommissioned (or so it was generally believed) prior to their more covert subsequent appearances

...I thought of - well, I did not specifically think of him, admittedly - the Maquis and how, even with the overwhelming evidence to the contrary readily available on the internet, there are still folk who doggedly insist that the Maquis were justified in their actions (although, whether they collectively agree that The United Federation of Planets is literally worse than The Borg is unclear)

I love tomatoes! But I don't see why they couldn't be grown in a station. If Keiko can have an arboretum, how much harder would tomatoes be? Their water, soil, temperature, sun, and fertilizer needs are understood pretty well even today.
My climate is, alas, just a little too cool for tomatoes. I can get cherry tomatoes to grow and make fruit but it isn't quite warm enough for the fruit to ripen before the fall rains come. But we do get tomatoes from across the mountains at the farmer's markets, so that's something.
The Federation encouraged the Maquis to leave, even Demanded that they leave. The Borg WON'T LET their victims leave. That's the difference.

In many cases, we cling to beliefs that make us look good to the people we care about.” — James ClearAs I was enjoying some home-grown goodness (from a cool clime, no less)...
