** Picard notes after meeting Riva that their briefing on him was missing quite a lot. They apparently only know about Riva's accomplishments and nothing about the man himself. His participation in the negotiations was a stipulation of the warring factions, not the Federation, so presumably the Federation have not dealt with him before. Worf is the only one who recognizes his name, and he knows nothing about the man personally.

* The crew of the ''Enterprise'' is quite surprised to learn Riva is deaf despite having been tasked with escorting him. Did they not do any research on the person they were escorting, or even know it beforehand as Riva is apparently famous? As Website/SFDebris points out, that's like being hired to escort Creator/StephenHawking to a physics conference and not knowing about the latter's ALS.
