Plot hole: Just after the Kelleran soldiers kill all the scientists, O'Brien tries to contact the runabout Ganges for a beam out. Unable to contact the Ganges, he and Bashir use the T'Lani cruiser's transporter to beam down to T'Lani III. He could have used the cruiser's transporters to beam to the Ganges instead (it wouldn't have had its shields up as it was unoccupied and was closer to the cruiser than the planet) allowing them to escape back to the wormhole and DS9, instead of having to await rescue on the planet.

Trivia: Buck Bokai's baseball card, a collectible featured on Benjamin Sisko's desk, had actor Keone Young on the front, in character, but showed "Trek" model maker Gregory Jein, who invented the "history" of the character, on the back. The pair bore an uncanny resemblance to each other.
Question: I've noticed in some episodes the person playing Dr. Bashir is credited as Siddig El Fadil and in others he's Alexander Siddig. At what point in the series did he have the name change?

Answer: He changed his name after the third season because people were having difficulty pronouncing his last name."Alexander Siddig" is the name he typically goes by as his full birth name, "Siddig El Tahir El Fadil El Siddig Abderahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim El Mahdi", is far too verbose and complex for screen credits.
