Okay it's been a while since I watched it but I recall being thoroughly disappointed with that episode. Like this is a sci-fi setting with all manner of strange alien life that has been determined to have legal rights (hence the prime directive etc), but there's no legal definition of what does or does not constitute a legal person? Then Picard ends up "winning" the argument with what was IIRC mostly empty rhetoric.
To be clear I don't disagree with you, I quite liked most of Asimov's I, Robot anthology which is mostly about interesting logic puzzles and the difficulty of creating inviolable rules.
