Please do not attack the integrity of someone's fandom. The contest is a bit of fun. No one is truly wrong or right.

The question that has been asked every round is simply, "Which ship would win?" If you want to read into that, "Which ship would win because it is a militarily superior craft?" then I suppose you're at liberty to do so. However, the question doesn't actually specify anything about the method of victory. Dropping a BOP into a big vat of custard is victory. Destabilising a nearby sun is victory — and, since that's actually been shown as a tactic the Klingons themselves have used, is a completely uncontroversial military victory.

So while anyone is free to interpret the question how they want, I do feel the need to point out what the question actually is. It's not asking which is the more popular ship. It's not asking which would win in a fight. It's just asking which would win, leaving the interpretation of the word win up to the person taking the poll.

And it does rather look like this round will end with people thinking the TARDIS would "win" — by something like a 3:1 margin.
