I vaguely recall we launched a tick too late? And could've just ended the NAP instead, anyway?

I don't know what kind of alliance p3nguins is (was?), but that depends entirely on how the alliance is structured.
In an alliance like Ascendancy, in which power was gained solely through earning the respect of your fellow players, blaming some mythical 'HC' type of person would be ridiculous. If you disagreed with someone, you would simply stop listening to them.
On the other end of the spectrum, at first glance, it might be more reasonable to blame the HCs in a strictly hierarchical alliance like Spore if they made a mistake like this. However, even there, the HCs can only lead with the common consent of their members. If those members decide their HC were morons, they can leave at any moment and start a new alliance with more competent leadership. This is not the army, leaving is a perfectly legitimate option.
