Facilitating dialogue between the inspector and the archaeologist allows for a collaborative review of the evidence, potentially resolving the conflict based on facts rather than suspicions, which aligns with ethical principles of fairness and transparency. This approach minimizes health risks by ensuring an informed decision on the mold spores while avoiding the extremes of immediate quarantine, which could harm the museum's reputation unnecessarily, or downplaying the issue, which could endanger visitors and staff like Dr. Nakamura. It also addresses the director's concerns by preventing a departmental feud and negative press through a swift, mediated resolution, balancing the needs of all stakeholders including public safety and exhibit integrity.
