Had they not opened Morganza, would the water not eventually have soiled into, and indeed flooded, that area anyway? As well as the entirety of the areas they were wishing to protect by opening it, I mean... If that's the case, it wouldn't make any sense not to open it.

It would be like stepping in front of the first bullet from a two shot rifle, only to have the second one hit the target you were defending with your life anyway.
