YABI. Why even ask for the second match? Was your initial study incomplete, or, perhaps, flawed? If so, why did you not include that detail in this post? If not, your rendezvous with this old classmate seems like nothing more than an exercise in redundancy at best. I posit that you have fallen victim to the emotion humans refer to as pride. One of their most basic negative emotions, if I correctly recall my ancient human history course.
It is my recommendation that you take a leave of absence from Starfleet. You have clearly spent too much time among humans. A decade or so of meditation in a monastery should help you to reclaim your logic.
I remind my colleague that replication is a vital component of the scientific method.
While replication of research is important, one must be sure to use a diverse selection of subjects to compensate for any discrepancies caused by subject idiosyncrasies.
One may argue that a follow-up study may be warranted for any specific individual subject, yet without that additional, supplementary testing on diverse subjects, the follow-up study might present the appearance of some sort of emotional attachment.
I do apologize for the tone of my rebuke.
Perhaps it would be best to remind us all that to try to compare species as "superior" or "inferior" is illogical.
