Which is exactly the problem. HQ made the deliberate choice to limit their level of research into this issue, and thus their potential for informed thought and analysis. The "what if" is already there:
they put it there. What if they'd been transparent? No one can know how this will play out, and HQ made the conscious decision to
introduce unknowns into their decision.
Maybe they are right. Maybe "we" are right (whoever "we" are). Maybe we're both wrong.
No one will ever know which is most true, because only one decision can be (and will be) implemented. This is normal and inevitable. The current assessment is necessarily a probabilistic one. In those terms, being informed by your stakeholders raises your chances of making an informed decision, which increases the likelihood that the decision will be a correct one.
