Trope-a-Day: Klingon Scientists Get No Respect

Klingon Scientists Get No Respect: Notably averted, (see Fantastic Caste System) at least for the skilled classes (as mentioned, say, in the real life section of the original trope), via the formal corporate equality of the darëssef and, indeed, the way people actually behave.  (Notably averted for the serviles, the actual unskilled labor class, except it was always a bit thin on the ground – given the early push for automation or mechanization brought about by the Empire’s labor demographics – and later actually nonexistent, likewise; they say the least skilled job in the modern Empire is botboss, a.k.a., professional supervisor of large quantities of complex automation.)
