      (Ignoring sloppy writing as the reason…)

      Star Fleet seems to like to compartmentalize information. Examples:

      At least post ‘First Contact’ they had hints of the Borg before ‘Q Who’ but kept it quiet. Similarly the Genesis device information was on a need to know basis (although probably for good reason). There was also that Voyager episode based around the Omega directive that only Janeway knew about.

        Also didn’t they mention it’s basically untested. So no point rolling out weapons in mass till you have a chance to verify they work. It’s just cause false hope, or risk additional lives if they don’t work.

      I think they are still trying diplomacy with the gorn, admiral april says they want to try to bring them in and see if they can be allies. Star fleet doesn’t want to be outward threat

      Also I think admirals are downplaying the gorn threat, maybe not to scare citizens
