I think you do everything you can to help out those members who are still in their relative spiritual infancy; if you err, may you err on the side of showing love and concern for a brother in Christ.

I'm not sure if I'm dictating to these folks that they shouldn't be offended. I
am suggesting it shouldn't cost them their faith.
I agree with everything else you said. Had the bishop really been trying to "err on the side of showing love and concern" he would've let the matter go, and allowed the number to be performed.
