If everything worked perfectly on Star Trek, each series would have lasted only one season. "If you keep going like that, you're going to overload the thing." type of statements were necessary to see how long people would watch. If it was boring who would care?
I seriously doubt that particular storyline was written for that purpose. Aside from that the point is that people seem to want computers to do everything for them but then forget that a computer will not be able to read their mind and so when asked for "tea" it will respond with a request for less ambiguity.
