Yeah, I'm wondering whether Ishida is merely rushing things to get on with the plot.....or whether this "Wow that was too easy" thing everyone seems to be feeling is going to come back to bite everyone.

I mean, in terms of Sheep-like behavior I think it's both one of the themes :Re has dealt with in relation to V and Furuta's rise to power.....and also maybe a criticism of Japanese culture. It's got such an enormous focus on social harmony and group unity that it can kind of smother individuality. The rank-and-file within the CCG seem to be a particularly ugly example of that mentality, since they will basically get swept up in whatever their leaders and current "Idol" tell them.

On the other hand, we were told that Eto's novel caused ripples within the CCG itself. That got swept under the rug because of the Clowns and Furuta's reign of terror, but now we've got another desperate situation where people are just looking for someone to tell them what to do and think.
