[The Thing] what if the outpost men actually understood Lars and let him explain what the dog thing is?

What if Gary didn’t shoot him but actually let him explain?

Here's the problem.

A dog runs into your house looking afraid for its life.  Your door gets knocked down by a strange man with a gun and multiple grenades screaming.  He tells you that the dog is a alien who killed all his friends and that he's here to kill it.  

Are you going to believe the lunatic with a gun and explosives or the innocent dog.

You instead lock him up and wait for the proper authorities. And the movie goes exactly the same.
