You know, when you think about it, Cochrane didn't say that. Riker did.

But as you point out, Riker was repeating what he read in a history book, and Cochrane was repeating what he heard Riker say... they both copied each other but neither came up with the phrase first, Riker's claim is about the same as Cochrane's, which may be nothing at all...

Ah, temporal paradoxes.

Hey, Cochrane just got the line from a speech writer who'd heard it in some other speech. So that makes him a politician, but that's forgiveable (in most cases).

*Peach prepares to rip arms off...* Temporal mechanics gives me headaches.

Interesting comparison, I didn't see that as being a direct dig at Roddenberry though, rather it was the comparison with the TOS Cochrane that I found most pressing as a ST fan.

It's a paradox.

Closed time loop.
