I don't use it either, but instead of ignoring it, I decided the data was flawed -- due to the neurosis of the scientist involved. The 24th C equivalent of the environmentalists are screaming about the end of the galaxy (holes in subspace!) but Starfleet ignored the warp 5 limit after the beginning of the DW and not conflicting data has convinced them not to reimpose the speed limit.
But that's our campaign...
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
