Smart Borg players can and always will be better as a Borg than a Human player at tasks at large, even if it's mostly whatever their borg module is specialized in, and that's ignoring the "I don't care about Oxygen or Temperature" thing Borgs have going for them. It's just how Borgs are and is probably made that way so the few Borgs on the station can be a genuine threat and so that people being made into a Cyborg as punishment don't just go "Well, my fun is done today" and just log off. I...know that doesn't stop them, but I'm sure more people would just quit if being a Cyborg sucked to play.
The first clause can definitely be explained a bit better on the wiki though.
being called a tool is kind of demeaning, don't you think
i just think there can be a medium between it being meant as a punishment and silicon enjoyers such as myself and other posters in the thread
