[ lance wasn't trying to blame shiro here, at least not entirely. if anything, it was the petty part of him that wanted to highlight the fact he'd been right, that putting keith in that position was a recipe for disaster, as the boy is now so kindly confirming, even if, in the end, it wound up working out for them.
did they get what they needed in the end? yes.
could they have done it better, with less damage done? probably. maybe. we'll never know now will we.
all in all, it seems the combination of keith and shiro and the blade of marmora was a bad mix for a number of reasons, all of which can be boiled down to all parties having too much personal investment in things that were completely separate from their actual mission and that, if nothing else, is what lance can't quite let go of.
but it worked out, didn't it... why beat a horse that's already won its race. ]
