Oh. I interpreted that it was the classic case of infighting delaying the actual solution enough that the issue finally came to meet them. If they hadnโt been pedantic towards the leader, he could have warned them of the threat and potentially avoided it.
This is how I read it too. Like, thank you very much Eugene, but you're wasting our time and not really being very helpful while we kinda have real problems to deal with here.
Basically a harsh criticism of deliberative democracy.
Or
Nothing they did would matter because the orca could kill them on their turf anytime it wanted and they had nothing capable of hurting it, so ultimately you're just telling people to shut up and do what they're told without even getting anything out of it
