re: #204 Varek Raith

Ironic, considering his supposed genetic superiority.
:P

Intelligence doesn’t fully compensate for lack of training. And Khan’s ability to think likely worked against him. When seconds count, military personnel are trained to react, not think, because there isn’t really time for thought. So he does not move quickly enough when something unexpected occurs, and that is a big part of his downfall. For all of his ability, Khan Noonian Singh never understood a basic fact long before drummed into the head of James T. Kirk: No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.
