We did the clear water pipes at DD for the Kirk and Scotty bit in there, which were entirely cg, as well as a mostly all-digital Scotty. You don't do that much work without a) the money and b) the script and storyboards to make the bid for how much money they had to spend on it. So I can assure you it was an actual set design choice, and not an afterthought. :)

I'm sure that only makes your point for you, but that's neither here nor there.
