OK, somehow I didn't see this line in your email originally. Please feel free to ignore my question about why you don't like holodeck episodes. :-)
Okay.
FWIW, I hadn't yet responded to that question because I was trying to think of a better way to explain my aversion to them than the line you quote above, without success so far . . .

Almighty Ruler of the all, Whose Power extends to great and small, Who guides the stars with steadfast law, Whose least creation fills with awe, O grant thy mercy and thy grace, To those who venture into space.
