** The Kobayashi Maru training exercise is a test of character, to learn how a cadet will react when dealing with a no win scenario while in command. That no win scenario is to either leave a disabled ship, with a large amount of passengers and life support failing, stranded in space, because it is within an area where a Federation Starship would be violating a peace treaty with a foe if they entered it to attempt a rescue; or risk war by attempting a rescue in violation of the peace treaty. Having Starfleet directly order the rescue in the simulation takes away the decision from the cadet in command to attempt or not attempt the rescue, which greatly lessens the ability to judge the cadet's character to dealing with a no-win scenario.

* MildlyMilitary: Starfleet is semi-militarized in response to the fate of the ''Kelvin'', but has its female personnel ''in sundresses'' (admittedly this is a ContinuityNod to ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''). However, they act more military in this film than Starfleet often does, for instance convening a quasi-CourtMartial in response to Kirk cheating on the ''KobayashiMaru'' test. (How military, exactly, Starfleet is [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the series and script]]: Prime Kirk and Benjamin Sisko were both very open about the fact that they were primarily soldiers, not explorers or diplomats; Jean-Luc Picard considered himself the opposite.)

For that matter, the rank difference between them should prohibit them from being in a relationship.
