       I beg to differ with the decision for "Plato's Stepchildren".
       Uhura did in fact beam down to the planet.  She did not,
       however, do it of her free will.  If you remember the episode,
       she and nurse Chapel found themselves forced to walk to the
       transporter room and were beamed down.  They were transported by
       the Enterprise's transporters, but not by anyone on the Enterprise.
