When two officers are in a relationship it is 100% appropriate that the junior officer, regardless of gender, should be posted out of the chain of command of the senior one. In this case since Spock is XO of Enterprise Uhura should not have been on that boat, due to issues that the sequel amply demonstrates, and her posting to the Farragut was completely appropriate. She was out of line protesting, both on grounds for her protest and time of her protest. Spock might have been a dick about the way he handled her posting, she should have been called into a meeting and had that quietly explained to her well in advance-although with a full on crisis this might not have been possible, but it was the correct call. Grades are only one part of your career, one very small part. Grades alone do not get you the plum posting, especially when you are in a relationship with someone in the chain of command of that posting.

You're still putting the cart before the horse with this argument, though.

The original argument is that she only got placed on the Enterprise because she was sleeping with Spock. In actuality, she would have originally been placed on the Enterprise if she hadn't been sleeping with Spock -- this is said, outright, and you seem to acknowledge it.

The inappropriateness of their argument (and their relationship) is one thing; her placement on the Enterprise is another. Take away their relationship, and she would have been there. That means that their relationship wasn't the primary reason for her being there.
