This is how history works. The victors determine how the story is told. If these guys had been successful rest assured no matter how wrong they were they would have painted themselves heros.

But I get your point. Unfortunately idiocy isn’t a solid defense for treason.

I feel this way about all of the brain dance scenes in cyberpunk. I don’t enjoy them and find them incredibly tedious. Thankfully there are only a few that are necessary for the story but they are notably bad, not fun, and add nothing to the game while absolutely stripping the moments spent playing through them of all joy
