How Izumi could've explained Mei's situation to Kouichi:

See that girl over...that's won't work.

See, Sakakibara-kun, there's this thing we have to do where we pretend...too close.

You know that desk in the back of the class? Well, nobody sits there, but if someone did you cannot under any circumstances talk to her. Kay?

That's the "beauty" of Countermeasures. They create a Catch-22 by their very nature. That's just poor planning.

Also, a lot of your arguments are based on hindsight and the omnipotent audience. Izumi, unfortunately, doesn't have access to either of those. And while it's one thing to accept Murphy's Law when it's a school project that's overdue, or the set falls apart on opening night of the school play, it's entirely different when real people are dying, especially since you "know" someone fucked things up and did the thing which causes it to happen.
