Imagine how wonderful and helpful it would have been if, instead of lecturing a group of grieving people who had seen no other way out with vague hints and platitudes, she had actually imparted useful information that might have at least given them a chance to find another way BEFORE sacrificing half their population. She gave them absolutely nothing to investigate, no crumbs to follow, so it makes complete sense that they would have turned her faction away. What on earth did they have to offer except their guesses about the future? They didn't even know the truth themselves.
