I think he was just putting it into terms that Zarabeth could understand like it's a frickin' LONG way away . . . frickin' millions of light years! Not something Spock would normally do but the 5000 year regression was hitting him hard or maybe it was a bad reaction to him eating meat!!The mistake I'm quoting is that Spock could have usually measured each planet's distance from Vulcan probably to the nearest mile and yet he's way off by saying it's millions of light years away! Look how he 'corrects' his Captain on numerous events and especially in The Doomsday Machine over a .4 of a kiloton!
