Even if this has a perfectly canonical explanation, it strongly supports my idea that Voyager's premise was a dead hook all along - they all knew it would be just another TNG (but worse) and they only had the Delta Quadrant thing to make it sounds exciting and avoiding being in DS9's shadow.
I think the various attempts to disavow DS9 and its AQ canon we see in Voyager and Nemesis was really the last straw for mainstream Trek IMO.

It was one of many nails in the coffin

How did Nemesis avoid AQ canon?
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Aye. Although stupid in the extreme, it didn't violate any previously established stuff.
