Thank you! I'm glad that I seem to be making sense. I completely agree that while the arguments Zarek and Gaeta are making may seem to make sense, they're not actually the reasons they're doing this.

It's interesting that everyone who actually understands the reasons they're claiming - like Lee - all the people who feel it keenly rather than as a front for power or rage - all those people are on the opposite side of the mutiny because those reasons are valid, but not enough to trump survival or the necessity of the alliance.
