Ok, but then Jake tears out a chip, the ship says autopilot is disabled, they cheer, and then ask the ship to plot a course, apparently surprised it would need autopilot to perform this. They are not 8 years old, and they speak English, or at least hear a translation of it.
I do think it’s weird they can use the computer to plot a course for them, but only under manual control. But also, they’re about to be boarded or blown up by Jem’Hadar and they are still just teenagers; people tend to make dumb mistakes when they are panicked.
IIRC, wasn’t it because they couldn’t use autopilot due to it being locked out without Sisko’s authorization?
