 James Doohan (who played Scott) spoke here at MIT a coupla weeks
back; he said that the reasons for all the sciences mistkes and
technical inconsistancies in the show were because the creative
staff (Roddenberry included) had no idea they would be taken to
task. Honestly, if you had a week to produce a show in which
every prop had to be custon made, would YOU have put more than a few moments
thought into where to put an pod-ejection button?
