Q; Why does Data state that his positronic brain is incapable of generating emotions when a) Dr. Soong created an emotions chip for him in the episode called 'Brothers' b) Lore has emotions c) Q gave Data an emotional experience (laughter) in 'The Schizoid Man'?
A; We might assume that Data is referring to his brain as it now stands without the addition of extra circuitry (à la Dr. Soong), meddling (à la Q) or basically reworking (à la Lore). It makes sense to me, anyway.
Bit of a nerdy kid, our Timothy, eh?
