Which leads to one of my beefs with the movie: They just let OldSpockTM wander off! Yes, the time lines have been altered, so some of the things he knew about from his time line would be worthless, but a great deal of his technical knowledge would not. You could leapfrog a whole lotta stuff just by talking to him about things.
