My favourite explanation came from Worf in Trials and Tribble-ations.
"We do not discuss it with outsiders"
The way Worf pulls off this line and the others reactions to it, it clearly states the show isn't even going to attempt explaining it -- and to me that was a plus.
It gave Trials a wink-wink to the oldtime fans --- meaning - WE'RE NOT GOING TO EVEN ATTEMPT MESSING WITH YOUR BRAINS
For me, that little hardly noticeable almost forgettable scene was one of the last highpoints in Star Trek.
