I really like the last suggestion, though it misses the sense that most of the time {vuD quvHa’ Har quvHa’wI’pu’}. The original has the flavor that there are exceptional opinions that are right despite wrongful people holding them.

Not particularly eloquent, but one possibility would be:

(SaSwI' isn't necessarily the same thing as a zealot, but I figure being SaS is one of the zealot's worst properties where their ideas are concerned.)

Some less direct but arguably more eloquent interpretations:

Dogh vuD 'e' Daj HarwI' Dogh.

vuD quvHa'moHbe' HarwI' quvHa'.

How would you translate the following quote into Klingon?


"It's important to remember that just because there are crooks, zealots and morons supporting a position, it does not automatically follow that the position is wrong."
