Stupid compared to the alternative? They were massively outgunned. Continuing to fight would have made them all dead sooner rather than later. Like the TPB blurb says, Buffy needs to find a way to change things and “keep her girls alive long enough to do it." It’s interesting from a feminist perspective how Twilight has used classic derailing/backlash tactics to make Voll and the media afraid of Slayers having power when he, as Buffy pointed out in #11,has power she’s "never seen." At the time it looked as if she was talking about the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound but his real power is institutional. He’s part of the system, human and demon. He is the system.
