The opposite must be true then: I’ve made only the wrong choices and I somehow won.
Wait that’s what Kirk did on the test… He cheated and got an accommodation. Even the new movies, he kept making the wrong choices and became captain of the enterprise.
Saavik: On the test, sir. Will you tell me what you did? I would really like to know.
McCoy: Lieutenant, you are looking at the only Starfleet cadet who ever beat the no-win scenario.
Saavik: How?
Kirk: I reprogrammed the simulation so it was possible to rescue the ship.
Saavik: What?
David Marcus: He cheated.
Kirk: I changed the conditions of the test. I got a commendation for original thinking. I don’t like to lose.
Saavik: Then you never faced that situation. Faced death.
Kirk: I don’t believe in the no-win scenario.
