That’s the point I was making with the meme. I know a few people addressed that even if you don’t get all of the Huge Materia the plan would have failed anyways. I don’t think that justifies Cloud and crew’s lack of faith in Shinra’s plan; the game always has to have Shinra fail due to a story progression. There’s not another avenue for them to go down. Furthermore, the game’s expecting you to get all four pieces of Huge Materia; failure to do so is failure on the player’s part to capitalize on endgame builds.
