[Assassin's Creed 1]How was the Battle of Masayf Altair's fault?

At the start of the game, the Templar's attack Masayf after the Assassin's retrieve the Apple of Eden.After the Battle Altair is stabbed and demoted for breaking three tenants of the order, with Al Mualim(the leader) saying 'every man lost today, was lost because of you).How was it exactly Altair's fault?If he hadn't killed the innocent at the start of the game, prehaps he would have blabbed to the guards, but ill assume the guy could have been knocked out.The second tenant he breaks is not being discreet, when the Templars seize the apple,How could he have been discreet?, if Altair hadn't gone straight for them, the Templars would have seized the Apple unnopposed, there was no discreet option, it was a single room with only 2 exits.Third Altair somehow compromises the Brotherhood by attacking the Templars and the Templar attack is blamed on him, but the leader(Robert) says at the start that he was already planning on attacking Masayf, Altair made no difference.If Altair hadn't attacked them, the Templars would have the apple and could just enslave Masayf unopposed and the Assassin's would have lost before the game even started.I just started the game and already it is confusing me haha.

You're forgetting in the beginning he launched a moderately unsuccessful attack on a Templar operations that cost one of his brothers and arm and incurred the ire of the Order. The Order attacked the stronghold because of his blatant disregard of the rules.
