Spock: “How could you, a starship fleet captain, believe that a Federation crew would blindly obey your order to destroy the entire Antos race, a people famous for their benevolence and peaceful pursuits?”
Garth: “That was my only miscalculation.”
ANAN: You realise what you have done?
KIRK: Yes, I do. I’ve given you back the horrors of war.
T’Ana: “Hmmmm…”
Mariner: “SHE FOLDS! You all fold! Every time, you all fold! You fold!”
T’Ana: “Don’t tell me what to do!… I’m gonna fold.”

None of that’s in the tech manual.
“Sometimes a feeling is all we humans have to go on.”
Mister Spock, respect is a rational process! Did it ever occur to you they might react emotionally? With anger?
I’m not talking about rationality.
You might be wise to start.
I’m doing exactly what I need to. It’s called being a captain.
