[Star Trek TNG] Realm of Fear... In it Reginald Barclay asks La Forge about transporter accidents. Less than 5 or 6 episodes ago La Forge phases out of sync. Can walk through physical objects and is cloaked. But Laforge tells Barclay he has never experienced an accident.

They also tell Barclay that in the last 10 years there have only been 5 or 6 transporter accidents.

How many of those happened on the Enterprise? Are they lying to the astute Reginald? He'd look up their numbers if they didn't seem right... What's going on here?

The transporter didn't malfunction then; it actually was highly successful at overcoming the interference from the Romulan ship's phase inverter device.

Very few of the "transporter accidents" the Enterprise dealt with were actually the fault of the transporter itself. It might seem like a bit dishonest, but the statement was technically true and meant to calm Barclay down.

After all, if you were driving your car across a bridge and the bridge collapsed, it wouldn't _really_ be a car accident, now would it?
