Actually (sorry about splitting hairs) the conclusion came from several members of
the E team.  Someone noted that the contamination came from a single source and
was *not* native to that particluar area.  Then Bev found it an interesting
coincidence that they had just enough antidote.  Then Geordi remembered that Data
did not say something about clearing the shuttle bay as he had in all the other
flights, something a human might have forgotten but not Data.

I agree...great episode.  I'm sorry O'Brien was so quick with that transporter.
