He’s stronger than worf, but doesn’t have his instinct for dangerous situations. He’s smarter than Westley (lol) but doesn’t have a great capacity for improvisation and adaptability. He’s technically better than Geordi at science, but not necessarily engineering, again pointing at his spock-like proclivity for sticking with “in the box” thinking.
Ironically, Geordi has better tech eyes, but data gets more play, if you know what I’m saying 😉
That’s one of the reasons I think neurodivergents identify so strongly with him. I might be smarter, or better at some things than someone else, but it definitely doesn’t mean I’ll be more successful than they are.
