The problem with attacking the airport being a single point of failure is that Allen doesn\'t \'\'know\'\' that; at no point in the previous cutscene that establishes his mission is he ever given a directive to blow his cover to stop any single attack. He thinks he\'s helping in the normal, day to day operations of an organization so he can continue to be trusted in their ranks, thus helping his undercover work, work that will ultimately help to bring them down, in total, not just killing Makarov so he can be martyred and replaced. He, again, does not have the benefit of hindsight or the player\'s viewpoint. If Makarov\'s BatmanGambit didn\'t exist, the airport \'\'wouldn\'t\'\' be a single point of failure, and as far as Allen\'s entire life is concerned, it Makarov\'s gambit \'\'doesn\'t\'\' exist.
