"Admiral, if we go by the book, hours could seem like days" (Off-Topic)

I forgot this classic example of stupid masquerading as clever.

Spock: Admiral, if we go "by the book". like Lieutenant Saavik, hours could seem like days.

Kirk: I read you captain. Let's have it.

Spock: The situation is grave, Admiral. We won't have main power for six "days". Auxiliary power has temporarily failed. Restoration may be possible, in two "days". By the book, Admiral.

And all the superior intellects who are listening fall for it.
