    They wanted a phaser but couldn’t call it a vaporize setting.

    But they didn’t completely abandon it. Disintegration gets used a handful more times when they remember it and it helps them wave away plot holes. Like in the episode where they end up in the 60s they disintegrate a box. A box!

      Two boxes stacked against each other, in fact. Sitting in a truck.

      The truck does not disintigrate.
