"To boldly go..." and traditional opening sequence

[mdtauk]

Bryan Fuller just debunked the anthology rumor the other day, saying it was "not accurate":

Thank you for that link, I hadn't seen it.

So The Undiscovered Country era is false, but the Anthology aspect is just in-accurate. Comic Con can not come soon enough, so we can finally get some concrete details.

No opening sequence, just throw up the title card and be done.

I wouldn't read too much into the difference in word choice, since he was speaking off the cuff. And people tend to confuse "accurate" and "precise," but they're two different concepts. Accuracy means having the right answer, while precision means having very little margin of error. Saying that pi is 3 plus or minus 1 is accurate (because the right answer is in there somewhere), but very imprecise. Saying that pi is 4 plus or minus .000000000000001 is extremely precise, but entirely inaccurate (because the right answer is not in that range at all). So "not precise" could mean "close but not quite," but "not accurate" simply means "wrong."
