I found the largest hole of all in the plot:  Star Fleet Command has 
declared the Genesis System "off limits" to everyone, is up to its
drives with legal/political/moral/... difficulties pertaining to the
Genesis device, its creation, its use, and purpose, etc, and they do
not have *one* starship protecting the system.  The single ship there
was for the scientists (according to the first few minutes of the film),
although its captain was sure power-crazy.

In fact, this may very well be how they plan to give Kirk et nausea a
new ship:  "Well Jim, it seems you and your officiers single-handedly,
and at great personal peril, prevented the Klingons from ...."

Barf city!
