no, that's a pretty clear moral lesson by example rather than a deficiency.
I was thinking about the two robots and the captain making the on-the-fly grand scale decision of returning for a life of work for the entire population rather than any kind of democratic discussion :-P A minor point for a story but all they had to do in the story was show an example of mass support or something.
Dang, you know I hadn't even considered that? I just figured that the life they had was so worthless that it was a no-brainer they'd want to go back to all the hardscrabble realities, but you make a good point. One big Hoo-RAH would have taken care of that...
