That was the point, the wrong but "stronger" argument won in that situation.

I Guess this one is based totally on perspective, I personally questioned her Motivation, because she gave in to Yuna and felt it was the only option and took the "easy" way out.

From a historical perspective, many leaders gained their postitions when they were young, and some of them managed to achieve greatness at a young age. It may not be all that common any more, but it's hardly unheard of.
I'm surprised that power would just be handed back to the Attha's just like that, With basically almost all the of the former rulers dead, i would expect an up and coming family to take control. And some unrest with another Attha "regime" with citizens that probably thought alot like Shinn.
