Lack of trust and acceptance of help; I always thought the Captain's attitude toward my people in this regard was because they were Vulcan, however, I found Mister Ryan's attitude toward accepting our help to be just the same. I see now that this human pride is endemic to the species, and has nothing much to do with the Human-Vulcan equation.
I also found the captain's tactics of coercion to be quite fascinating. Unfortunately, instead of cooperation, they led us into a trap. Once again, pride was the motivating factor. In that, I think Vulcans and Humans are much alike.
