I thought some of the comments on the video link were interesting. It really is a conundrum. On the one hand it isn't just political correctness - a senior officer really must be held to a higher standard. On the other, just who determines what that standard is a point in question. As mentioned there, CDR Honors apparently did much to boost the morale of his crew during a tough period, and morale is the XO's job. He also has an exemplary record of command, both at that time and since.

As always, I'm obviously of two minds on this, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out.
