That's a literal Idiot Ball reference, not to mention canon. I don't think we'll see it.
But it's not an idiot ball if there's an actual legitimate reason for being stupid.
Like, in The Naked Time and The Naked Now, the initial infections were pure idiot ball.
The subsequent infections, and the crew doing spectacularly stupid and even suicidal things, were not.
