I forgot to respond to this part. Yes, we could be more blunt and explicitly state that bringing the issue back to the discussion stage is way too late and unwelcome. However, offering advice only on finding a replacement should be a sufficient hint for any reasonably clueful person to understand that it is far too late to suggest a reversal. There will always be those who demand that we revisit our decisions regardless of what we tell them, and those people are unsalvageable.
