      The scenario always ends with their simulated destruction, but that’s not what I mean.

      If every outcome is considered equal, then how would it be useful to Starfleet? Or said another way, if Starfleet doesn’t care how cadets react to a no-win scenario, why does it need to know?

      I always figured the failure conditions were things like cowardice or paralyzing indecision – character flaws unwanted in a leader.
