If Vulcan is a matriarchal society, why was it Spock, son of Sarek;
Sarek, son of "Sarekpop"; McCoy, son of David?  Why not Spock, son of
Amanda.  I could explain Spock, since Amanda was not Vulcan, but McCoy,
who had Spock's essence, should get it right.  And Sarek referred to his
dad, I think.  My speculation is: son of dad, daughter of mother.
Does anyone know for sure?  Is there even an answer?
