It was silly. Thousands of pounds of cargo going back and forth while Archer and Tripp(?) stand there unaffected. No one's furniture in his cabin is affected (apparently); no reports of the phenomenon from elsewhere on the ship (?). Implausible + Incredible = Silly.The gravity shift would only have to be slight for Archer and Tucker to be unaffected, standing where they are. You're trying to rationalize your argument by assuming you know how the gravity technology works on the ship in the first place. It certainly isn't generated the traditional way (by mass), or by rotation. Is it implausible that an anomaly has attached itself, or reacted with, the walls of the cargo bay, or disrupted somehow the Enterprise's internal "gravity generators" for that section?
But I agree, it is silly. But still more silly to nitpick one impossible thing based on other impossible things, which was my original point.
