I DON'T support or reject the decision itself, but am willing to try and provide reasons why it was made.

Simply put, if you cannot provide a reason why continuing was less safe, how is the question even relevent? If they had RETURNED and crashed, would that have made THAT a bad decision?

I UNDERSTAND that the crew did it's best given the information at hand, and don't imagine I could have done a better job, no matter which way I went, under the circumstances.

And yes, I would have supported the crews doing its' best, even if the outcome had not been so good. There have been MANY incidents where the crew acted in good faith, only to have a bad outcome.

We learn from these, and no doubt will do so from this incident.
