23 The klingons wouldn't use a human-based system (Objections to the theory)

Objection: this stardate system makes stardates round numbers of Terran days,
but the Klingons and Romulans and so on wouldn't use such a system.

We've never seen Romulans use a stardate. In fact, the only occasion when a
non-Federation person used a stardate was in the seventh season ST:TNG episode
"Liaisons". In that episode, an alien was trying to imitate a Federation
civilian. He had obtained logs from a crashed Federation ship, and had also
had some official contact with the Federation. So it seems clear that
stardates are a Federation invention, but their use is not limited to
Starfleet.
