Jim spread his hands. "I can't be," he said. "But I believed him, when he said it. I believe there was a certain logic in who he sent, apart from issues of... expendability. Other than not sending a medic, I might have done the same myself. Though I would have gone. I believe that he had no deliberate intention of letting us die. He needs Jim. He needs what my Spock has provided him. I think he made a mistake. And while it's not comforting, I believe it was not intentional. And I'm attempting to convince him of the logic of not making every decision without the input of anyone else when untried."
He also believed that Pike himself compromised Spock's control over his mouth. But that was a touchier issue.
