Maybe because it doesn't matter if the escape plan, which the way I see it was a test, was going to sacrifice the remaining shards. The source getting wiped out was the equivalent of knocking out a load bearing beam in a wall. Knocking it out is going to cause the wall and maybe the whole building collapse. Your average person if given a safe or safer option vs a risky option will choose the safe option as part of their flight or fight response. You only give people one option even if said option is seen as a safe option more people will have a tendency to balk at it. It's why in the 8UC a lot of people turn down the original turn back the clock plan, but choose to get behind the save the WoL plan.
