Picard could never make it so himself. He even used surrogates for sex because he ran out of Viagra. He waffled on major decisions and his most shining moment was when he was a Borg. Kirk did more in one year of his career than Picard did all the way back to Academy days. Kirk was a real legend; Picard is a legend in his own mind.
