Well, there's always the chance that they did think of a reason why, but never told the rest what it was (or never got the chance to). Or maybe they did but it was seen as not enough of a justification for the scene.

The real problem with Shane is that he wanted things to be done like Monty planned. Like Monty, he was stubborn, but unlike Monty:

1) He was not the Director or Creator, nor was he a writer, so he may not have known the actual thought processes behind some decisions since he wasn't part of the discussion. But again, may.

2) He didn't bother to listen. He wanted Monty's plan to remain like it was, and unlike MK he didn't consider if some of Monty's ideas were actually good or bad. So any changes to the plans, for the better, were like stabs to him.

3) There were also attitude issues.
