* ArtisticLicenseBiology: An example that would go on to have surprisingly far-ranging implications for the rest of the show's run. Near the start of the episode Bashir says that he missed out on top spot on his class because he confused a pre-ganglionic fiber with a post-ganglionic nerve. However, many people -- including the wife of the episode's writer, no less -- pointed out that this was such a huge error that even a ''first''-year medical student wouldn't make it, let alone a final-year student in the running to finish top of his class. As a result of this, the Season 3 episode "Distant Voices" was written essentially as a FixFic to solve this, and the {{Retcon}} would be taken to even further, much more significant proportions in Season 5's "Doctor Bashir I Presume?"
