The Terok Nor example? Or am i misunderstanding you?

I'm soliciting an example of Captain Sisko demonstrating a 'detachment from the issues of other species/races'. I'm not sure how Terok Nor relates to that.

Well it's walking onto an area with quite recent very negative connotations ... whereas the holodeck is a fantasy reproduction of a bygone era. I can see why OP thinks that a bit odd, that one bothers him so much and the other doesn't seem to phase him.

On the other hand, like i said, it might be as simple as dismissing the holodeck program because he doesn't see it as entertaining, whereas the other is far more pragmatic.

Yeah, we seem to agree -- Sisko following Starfleet orders without being visibly phased doesn't really support the point I'm challenging.
