    I would add the Paxans from the TNG episode "Clues." Since this elusive race of xenophobes were willing to exterminate the Enterprise crew rather than allow knowledge of their species to be made known to others, it seems logical to include them on this list. They erased all knowledge of themselves from the minds of the crew--save Data who was sworn to secrecy. Ironically, this knowledge may have been destroyed along with Data himself in ST: Nemesis unless it was downloaded into B4, Lore, or some other Soong-class android.

So if Data did disregard the memories about the xenophobic aliens when copying his mind into B4, we can assume the new Data doesn't know it. Unless Data did keep those memories when copying them to B4.

    Headcanon why the Warp 5 limit was forgotten: the Vulcans took a look at the research by the Hekarans, found way way WAY too speculative and based on worst case scenario since warp core detonation rifts disappeared within a few weeks of it as space fixed itself without help. In other words, it was essentially research based on fear of what the warp core could do if space wasn't the mysterious form it was and couldn't fix itself. So the Vulcans saved the Federation from their dumbness (only time they could because they failed to stop the idiocies that led to the Maquis).

    Actually what the Heckarins were saying was a theoretical probability that was discussed between I had this discussion with a physicist a quantum physicist about the probability of there being a problem if one shirt used certain types of drives in a given area of space. Bearing in mind this is theoretical quantum physics and there is no way to test it out to see if it would be that way or not, I propose this based on certain factors in actual reality, things that we can actually see and therefore if they behave a certain way in that way that stands to reason that theoretically they would behave the same way more or less in theory in space with certain types of drives that would share certain parts of space. Like I said it wasn't you it was theoretical quantum physics.

    The fact that he penned and wrote it down the old-fashioned way so that he would not forget proves beyond any any doubt that people really don't understand memory, the more you try to erase the memory there's always a backup area in the brain that has that memory. I know this because of the fact that I have worked with people with various forms of brain damage especially memory problems and I can tell you that the mind has a way of storing in the brain memories sometimes that is because of taste sometimes because of smell sometimes because of sight or touch there are also parts of the brain that store due to smell and emotion so I can tell you this because of the patience I worked with in the past who were Alzheimer's patients. So even if they try to erase the actual areas of the brain that do store memory the actual memory storage area there are plenty of other places called them redundancies if you will that are backup sensors for the brain's memory, and that is something that not Star Trek isn't any more about the science anymore in science fiction it's lost or has never had anybody who does research anymore otherwise they'd remember this, or know this.
