Most unrealistic part of the movie, and by god I'm including TIME TRAVEL, is that Scotty would be both dismissive of and insanely good at keyboarding text entry and use of a 1980s computer. Either he'd be pissed off because because there was no way to use this antique, or he'd be delighted at the chance to use his historical reenactment skills.

This is a very good point. The only possible retcon I could come up with for this is if starfleet had a required core curriculum course in ancient technologies that Scotty hated but also got an A+ in because he’s Scotty.

I think he was just trolling. It would be a classical comedy form by that era.
