I really think that sets a bad precedent for others following the ‘push on’ mentality, which might put others on the spot when the decision is to be made, is it ok to cause mass commercial disruption and just get her down, yes always the safest option. Or should I I push on cause the boss did.

Nice stir, but you have made the assumption that "just putting it down in GEL" was the safest option in this case. That - as this thread shows - is a matter of opinion and an absolute line ball call when all the competing issues are considered and weighted accordingly.
