How after the genetics did Dr bashir still come 2nd in his class?

Maybe we're looking at this from the wrong angle. Maybe the valedictorian was genetically enhanced too. We don't know if the Bashirs went for the premium genetic-engineering package or the budget package. Maybe they did a better 'engineering job' on her than on him.

Same reason why O'Brien beat him at darts before.

Why did he miss the Jemhader fighter in their debut episode - allowing it to destroy the Odyssey? or was that Kira?

Puny humans!! Thinking you could hit us with those bath toys!!
