In fact, the Star Trek TOS original episodes with Klingon were diplomatic-focused and the solution was NOT to punch every Klingon in the face as soon as you meet them (such is quite explicitely banned by the Federation, etc. etc.). So indeed you "Interview" them first, punch them later. The Next Generation starts off with Klingons already allied to the Federation.
The reference should be changed into something more appropiate. Why not something about goblin dens in D&D campaign? Generally you are asked to exterminate them without a second thought.
