This is very interesting tag and - to some point - quite possible outcome.
I don't like what we saw in "CM". But I was also thinking what else they could do, having only 25 minutes left... and I couldn't find any good ideas. That doesn't mean that there weren't any. Or that there were. Maybe it would be easier for me to accept Weir decision if I could believe that she would make it no matter who would be the suspect. But somehow I doubt she did.

So, I can understand this reaction. I can very closely relate especially to Radek's speech (giving where I live), but still it's hard for me to believe that almost all of scientist would go, just like this. And by "just like this" I mean hearing only Kavanaugh point of view. It's canon, that he wasn't very popular or liked so I really doubt they would made such drastic decision solely relying on what he said. Moral aspect aside - I don't think they trust him enough. "Just like that" - without talking to anyone, especially Rodney. And than Weir. They are brilliant, responsible people and they know value of their work. Requesting change in leadership - yes, quite probably. I'm all for it myself at the moment.

It's been irritating me through most of the season, what writers did to characters. The quantity and seriousness of problems that are left unresolved. I can only wish that they "sacrifice" few scenes in each episode for making amends. Yeah, I can wish... For me it's another proof that the writers think of us, fans, as a bunch of idiots who doesn't THINK.

I liked this story. Liked the writing (extra thanks for grammatically correct Radek ) and I share your point of view. It's just the means I see a bit different. I hope maybe one day you'll decide to write a sequel. Fallout of fallout :-)
