It cheapened Ur's sacrifice and cheapened the manga, because in real life sometimes there is no way out. In Fairy Tail reality bends over backwards to make sure nothing bad ever happens to the heroes, like in this "emotion overcomes calculation" bullcrap.
I don't really feel like dealing with the whole emotion argument. However, I will note that something very bad to the heroes will happen relatively soon. I don't see that future version of Levy crying horribly over some temporary damage.
