Acknowledgement of the need for efficient defecation is indeed logical.
The Kir'Shara reflects on this at length.
Ideally, leave no residue. Residue speeds up the entropy of the bathroom, and indirectly, your own. More practically, leave as little residue as possible. Harm no one's internal, invisible integrities; leave others a bowl that smells and looks fresh. Pooping remains satisfying only insofar as it is clean; confronting previous users' mess turns it to torment. Poop courteously: accept the pooping of others in the same way, with careful hands - which must then be washed.
Do not force it. All action has equal reaction: what force you inflict, inevitably returns.
As far as possible, do not soil your underpants. Can you return cleanliness to what you soil? Then be slow to do so.
Cast out poop. Cast out shit and crap. Cast out turds and faeces. Cast out all waste material, be it number one or number two. Cast out this material by using reason to accept the urge to poop, and then move past it to the bathroom. Master your defecation practice, so that it may be used to slow entropy.
Make sure you flush.

As that is one of my favorite passages from Spock's World, I immediately knew it and I actually laughed out loud (not something I do very often).
But why are the parents... smiling? A Romulan spy subplot, perhaps? This could be the Star Trek version of The Day of the Jackal meets Everyone Poops. (Assuming that there's a non-Star Trek version of that, of course.)
And Vulcan toilets look identical to Earth toilets? Hodgkin would be proud.

The artists rendering of the toilet is as it is at the request of the Vulcan Ministry of Privacy. The details of Poop Farr are for our eyes only and not be be glimpsed by outsiders or those who have not paid 9.99 plus applicable sales tax.
And there it is...a brand new low.
