Regarding the humanocentrism, there was one possible explanation I hit on while playing Star Trek Online and noticing the availability of species-specific ships (such as the Atrox carrier and the Andorian escorts) -- basically, most member worlds maintain their own independent fleets, but Earth doesn't.

This would imply that a single slice of quiche would itself become toast. I don't think we can apply the cube rule to pieces of food; it has to be the original prepared form before being served.

Jeb!

True, it's hardly a complete explanation. But it at least makes it easier to rationalize it as "because effects budget" than might otherwise be the case.

(Alternate comedy option: Starfleet isn't human-dominated, it's actually Lanthanite-dominated and they just got better about hiding the accent.)
