I think you might be missing his point. It's not necessarily about the moral character of the person in question but moreso about the lengths they might stoop to in order to return.
It reminds me of the time John Cena gathered 4 of the best Superstars WWE had to offer to take on the Authority in a 5 on 5 Survivor Series elimination tag match.
If Cena's team won then the Authority would no longer be in power, if the Authority's team won, all of John Cena's friends would be fired.
After years of abuse and horrible actions from the Authority being unchallenged and unpunished, everyone just assumed that it was impossible for them to ever be banished, just like with the Admiral. And this seemed cemented when most of Cena's team including Cena himself were dispatched with relative ease, just like those who ever questioned The Admiral.
However suddenly from out of no where Dolph Ziggler overcame all the odds and turned the match on it's head from 3 on 1 handicap foregone conclusion to a Team Cena victory by singlehandedly defeating The Devil's Favorite Demon Kane, Luke Harper and Seth Rollins back to back.
The entire WWE universe celebrated in joyous shock similar to CE right here when the Authority was terminated.
However they all underestimated the Authority who had a back up plan to return as merely weeks later the devious Seth Rollins threatened to break the neck of the former WWE World Champion Edge unless the Authority were reinstated.
John Cena had no choice but to accept this cruel demand in order to save the life of his former arch-rival turned best friend and the Authority are still present in WWE Today.
Now you gotta believe The Admiral is not going to be threatening to break necks but you have to wonder, after so many years being empowered just like the Authority were is he really going to walk away or will he also have some similar devious trick to return just as soon as it has sunk in that he is truly gone?
SBAllen who I am sure is a huge WWE fan has obviously learned from what the Authority did and is being smart, not questioning the ethical character of The Admiral but instead pondering that just like with the Authority time will tell what kind of reprisal he will have to get back on CE.
