As far as the storyboard goes, I don't think it's lazy, just make sense if Venat had a plan beside simply nuke the world with the sunder and left to its own device. The philosophy behind the twelve method of of operation also fit well how she wants to prep mankind to ultimately face the End Singer.
I see where you're coming from. I do understand the difficulty with going the direction I was hoping for in order to prevent plot holes. I suppose I shouldn't say "lazy writing", but it is definitely the easier approach to the implementation of the Twelve. The thing is though, the twelve had nothing to do with Endsinger as for as preparation goes. Venat's haymakers were Azem, and the moon. The latter of which could only be temporary as the Endsinger planned on eradicating all life in existence. Assuming it is not covered in 6.5, we may never know how exactly the twelve would contend with the end of days if Azem failed. The plot hole is still potentially an issue.
