A fallacious and emotional argument. Miles and Kerry can always be producers, ensuring the series stays the course. But if writing and plotting isn't their strong suit, they need to get out of it and give it to someone who can salvage this (even if M&K have to sit in on the workshop).

Rick Berman was the producer of the Star Trek series from TNG-ENT, but in VOY and ENT, where he had complete control along with Brannon Braga, the writing became uninspired bordering on stupid, causing the shows to suffer, and he was with the series since Gene Roddenberry was involved and took over when he died (and even Gene had a bunch of problems when it came to his vision for Star Trek, especially in TNG season 1).
