Nah, he's quoting a TNG episode where Data does the exact same thing.



Data may have said it in TNG, but pretty sure this originated with the 1983 film “WarGames” (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WarGames).

The WarGames "the only winning move is not to play" quote is about mutually assured destruction; a rather different lesson than the one Data learns in 'Peak Performance'.


Ah,oops, my whoosh!
