Your main disagreement with Akuperma is what you said is not what you came here to discuss. But once you realize where he is coming from your question falls away. There are certain things that are untoucheable. Yeshivos for Bochurim is one of them. You don’t make Cheshbonos when Yiddishkeit, or an aspect thereof, is at stake. The Maccabees were also irrational, but it was time to act without calculating the odds. At such times we do what we can and leave the rest to Hashem.
