      That line always annoyed the fuck out of me. They couldn’t make up an equally vitally important Klingon author and then compare them?

      Nope, just a throwaway joke.

        I interpreted it as cultural appropriation and how primitive Klingon diplomacy was that they’d make the claim directly to the people they’d appropriated from.

          That’s really nice, I like that interpretation a lot! Sort of “This man wrote so well he might as well have been a Klingon.”
