THE POWDERED DONUT DEFENSE is a tool, a sledgehammer with which to smack down VS Trekkie claims fast, efficiently, and devastatingly. It is a form of counter-argument that requires an answer only from direct canon or EU quoted evidence; without preface, without apology. The name was coined by none other than Ian Samuel, "Kynes" on the ASVS newgroup, inspired by what he was eating at the time. Enjoy!
