The Cage-WNMHGB-TOS -TAS-TMP-TWOK timeframe

What was Picard doing between the Stargazer and Enterprise D?

Amusing that you should ask me that, because as far as I know I'm the only person who's ever supplied an answer to that question (at least outside of fanfic):

I don't think the rank argument is very good either.

I already said that it's not about nitpicking single arguments in isolation, it's about considering the preponderance of evidence and the overall portrait it paints. Facts are just building blocks -- what you want is to formulate a theory, a model that encompasses all the facts and explains them comprehensively.

Yes, you can demonstrate that various individual facts in isolation are not incompatible with the hypothesis of the movie taking place later, but what is the underlying theory? Why, holistically, is it bad to put TMP in 2273? Why is it better to put it in 2280 or something?
