I 100% agree that it's a contest, there's going to be happy people, and unhappy people, as well as those that are neutral. That's the nature of the contest. But even you yourself pointed out how a rule oversight allowed an entry that should not have had a final place make it through. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for a bit of care in selecting such in the future.
