OTOH, if it could make people believe in colonies and family
members who never existed, maybe it could also make them
believe their ships were doing things they weren't, and that
nonexistent woulds were mysteriously healing.  Maybe
the Klingon ship was never damaged and 400 of its crew
weren't killed until Kirk blew it up believing it was empty, or
the weapons never really fired and 400 Klingons spent the
rest of the episode battling over who would replace their
missing CO.. Maybe the Enterprise never headed out of
the galaxy and spent the entire episode leisurely crusing
along the course Kirk had ordered for it, and while the
combatants thought they were maiming each other with
swords that magically appeared they were really waving
around chessboards and phaser pistols whose safeties
were still engaged.  We never saw the interior of the ship
after it left; could be they found themselves surrounded by
some really embarressing litter, and in the first Klingon/
Federation.conspiracy in history Kirk and Kang decided
to hush it up and stick to the "we were forced to fight by
an alien influence" story.
