No, some of those other examples ALSO count too. But if you're actually trying to defend Mike/Mal, be realistic here, there isn't one for him. Screenwriters do stupid things sometimes and this was one of theirs. They need to take full responsibility for it. And for all similar cases of it, including but not limited to at least some of the other things you listed. Besides, I'm not sensing a lot of objectivity here.
