I think the other reason that they let their memory get blasted is because, well, ultimately it ought to be our choice. We effectively weren't asked and Gardy was just fulfilling his purpose to "protect" so we don't hold it against him but that fact remains.
So Gardy telling us what would likely happen if we go with the first option carries a significant risk of us figuring it out independently and thus having that consequence happen anyway? After reality "settled" would it be safe to recall the memory and re-fuse with him? How would we know when it was if that's the case?
