Great story and great research ... kudos to Jörg Hillebrand for finding this amazing bit of Trek lore ... not only is Captain Jean Luc Picard famous for being part of Trek but so is Patrick Stewart ... amazing! I'm sure that someone on the production crew of the original TNG lineup was in on this hidden easter egg (maybe even Stewart himself) but it only take a dedicated Trek fan to be able to discover it
