There is a subtle difference in writing between post-season 3 TNG Worf and DS9 Worf. Maybe it is rank, maybe it is the fact that Picard kept him on a different leash, but DS9 Worf seems a bit more inclined to be ''what are human emotions?'' than TNG Worf.
I'm just finding it hard to believe that the Worf who courted Troi, the Worf who delivered Molly O'Brien, the Worf who regularly attended poker nights is the same Worf who seems so socially inept at dealing with humans as he does in this episode.
In TNG those were his friends he'd known for years, but in this episode he'd met the DS9 crew like a month ago.
He had the same problem when he joined his brother's Klingon crew in Redemption and Martok's crew later on DS9. Not good at managing his social anxiety, basically.

That's good reasoning. He only knows Miles. He is just getting to know the rest. Though by this point, it would be months since he joined.

The whole "everything is a set amount above cost" bit makes a lot more sense once tis explained that their main customer is the Dominion military. It's probably a command economy in all but name.
pretty much, but I don't think that that guy was subject to command economy economics, just that he makes for an reliable and meek supplier. Really thhere's nothing wrong with his philosophy as a guiding principle.
Anyone watch/listen to Unlimited Lives on YouTube? He is also a reviewer of Star Trek episodes cut in a similar cloth as Chuck. Though in his case, he does the episodes in order. Right now he is on Season 4 of DS9.
He just recently did his review of Starship Down. He had a little segment on economics. He usually will dive into certain topics like that when he needs to.

I know. Advertising for Chuck's rivals. Sorry.
Thanks for mentioning this. Chuck spending most of his Trek time recutting old episodes left a big gap in my Trek retrospective viewing schedule.

I checked out Unlimited Lives based on the recommendation.
I found him to be rather like Aldi ketchup. Edible, but a pale imitation of the real thing.
His humor isn't quite there. But I do enjoy his analysis. I should also point out that he revised how he did things, his DS9 videos are longer than his Voyager ones. Watch his DS9 reviews, because that was when he decided to add his own commentary.
