But radiation would damage electronics too, and Data is irreplaceable
Possibly, but you know who has a history of surviving things that would kill any other crew member and has exhibited at least incredible radiation resistance even in that very same episode?
Also, it's very un-starfleet to consider one member of the crew more irreplaceable or valuable than any other, even if it is true.
Picard made the best use of his crew and their abilities, but he values them all equally.
One of my favorite retorts of his:
well said
Everyone on the crew is irreplaceable. Data wouldn't want special treatment
Nah, he'd just lose his memory for a while, then cause a radiation poisoning epidemic. Then be speared to death when he tries to fix it.
