They already proved that when they had an episode where Spock became 100% human, and suddenly bursts out in cringe emotion.
Vulcans have TOO MUCH emotion, that they had to take extreme measures with their cultural conditioning to prevent self-destruction. To take an idea I mentioned elsewhere, they went Absolute Law (via Logic) because they were destroying themselves as a race of True Chaos (unchecked emotion).

This is correct. When Spock's father started mentally breaking down the first time anyone really noticed is when he cried at Data's concert performance, and it was one tear, not an outburst. That one simple break in discipline instantly told everyone that something was wrong with the guy.
For all of Jar Jar's faults at lease he understood that aspect of Vulcans.

Right, so turning a human into a Vulcan without the training and discipline built up over a lifetime would have terrible consequences.
I'm with the others that Star Trek died after Enterprise.
