    Didn’t it? Not that humans became straight up Vulcans, but Vulcans did want to get the benefits of humanity’s drive without the parts where we nuke each other. Most Vulcans in the 24th century would probably consider this plan a success.

      Humanity had already made it through its nuclear wars. So what Vulcan philosophy did humanity embrace through this “teaching”?

        That’s a very good question. I’m not sure we can discern a specific answer from canon. Rather, we infer it based on Vulcan intentions in the 22nd century and the end results in the 24th.

          The canon events of Enterprise seems to suggest very little went the way the Vulcans intended for humanity. At the beginning of the series, it was the Vulcans in the leadership role over humanity, while by the end of the series, it was humanity in the leadership role with the creation of starfleet.
