I just finished the ST:TOS episode “The Changeling.” This makes two episodes now — this and “A Taste Of Armageddon” — where Kirk manages to convince a computer to destroy itself just by pointing out faulty logic.
Did TOS invent this trope?

asimov probably predates.
It happens again in “I, Mudd”
I guess I’ll add it to the list of tropes like, “The Enterprise encounters a mysterious alien that’s so powerful the cast must contemplate their own insignificance in the universe.”
For a second, i thought that was going to be “The Enterprise encounters a mysterious alien so powerful Kirk has to sleep with her.”
Kirk has yet to sleep with anyone!
