Why didn't Data tell Dr. Soong about "Lal"?

[OurLord1stServd]

In the TGN season 4 episode "Brothers" why didn't Data tell Dr. Soong about Lal. When Dr. Soong mentioned to Data about being a cybernetist?Why didn't Data compute and say that "contrary I did create an android, my daughter "Lal"?

Kind of a busy, hectic, day what with the brain-washing and starship stealing and all.

[pookha]

that and something about admitting admitting that your creation didnt live long.. on day your dad brainwashed you ect..
though later on he did tell his "mother"

By the end of the run of the series and movies, we'd run into Lore, Data, Julianna, and B-4. Anyone start to get the feeling that Soong was cranking out these androids far easier than anyone thought?

^ Then 'All along the watchtower' plays and it turns out that everyone in starfleet is Soong type android.

 

[The Borg Queen]

Maybe Soong just had one of Harcourt Mudd's android vending-machines?

Who said he didn't? We didn't get to see the entirety of their time together, he may have mentioned it.

According to "Inheritance" Dr. Soong actually created two others besides those you mentioned, but we never get to see them... Busy man!

 

[Chick_McGeester]

Dr. Soong could create these Androids, heck even Data himself could create more androids. Makes me wonder why Starfleet couldnt do it...

 

[CoveTom]

^ Well, Data never successfully created an android. Lal didn't last long. As far as we know, only Dr. Soong was ever able to do it successfully.

 

[DonIago]

Though in Data's defense if Lal hadn't evolved beyond him she may have lived longer.
