I don't agree with the harshness of your tone or bashing Alec, but I do agree that if BioWare wanted him to die, that they could have done a better job.
They obviously didn't just want the father to die, they wanted him to die in a way that would require him to save his child. They also want that child to black out even though to me, blacking out didn't make sense either. Seemed like pappy was remaining conscious longer than I was even though I was the one with the helmet.
I am uncertain as to how to accomplish what they wanted, but felt that him dying should have been enough and we didn't need him to do it by saving his kid.

You made some other good points as well, but this one stood out for me. No matter how trained Alec is, I can believe that even he can be irrational especially combined with him constantly wanting to atone for his absentee parenting in the past.
