[Kyle is not 'most people'.]

That makes sense - and unfortunately really can't apply in my universe. Almost all civilisations are in regular contact with or are aware of the existence of sentient life elsewhere in the galaxy. [Most aliens he knows would laugh in the face of the Prime Directive, sadly.] Interstellar flight is common enough but infrequent [the people with the biggest ships also happen to have the biggest guns, and more often than not are pretty willing to use them, too.]. The Corps hasn't reached some of the frontier worlds yet but that's another work-in-progress.

[A pause.]

'Accused'? Sorry, is this a translation error or a cultural misunderstanding? Where I'm from there's no value judgement placed on that sort of thing. [Wryly:] I just don't encounter many optimists.

[Which makes Spock the first person in well.. ever, to get Kyle to imply that he is truly a pessimist, and not the dreamer people make him out to be.]
