If the Resistance hadn't destroyed the Dreadnought at the beginning, it would have followed them through Hyperspace and destroyed them at the next "stop" (or the one after that, etc...) because it's guns would have punched through the Resistance cruiser's shields. However, Poe didn't know that at the time.
Likewise, the transports that the Resistance escaped in DID get decimated/proved as defenseless as Poe feared, which ultimately killed more Resistance members than Poe's attack on the Dreadnought did. However in this case Poe is somewhat at fault because the Transports were "sold out" by DJ, who wouldn't have been a factor if Finn and Rose hadn't gone on their mission.
But basically, both sides of the arguments were simultaneously correct and wrong at the same time.

“Frank is so gifted, and I’ve been a fan of his for years,” Hamill says. “The thing is, it was just so real to me.”
To keep Yoda’s return a surprise, producer Ram Bergman worked diligently for a year to hide the involvement of the all-powerful Oz. “I had to convince Frank to basically make sure we don’t put his name on the poster, and not to do any press about it,” Bergman said. “I made sure he ate in the office and not publicly in the restaurant when he came to Pinewood [Studios.]”
Even reuniting with Mark Hamill off-set was cloak and dagger.
“We were emailing each other: ‘Meet me in the parking lot and I’ll sneak you up to my hotel room,’” Hamill said with a laugh. “You’re reading these things later and thinking, ‘Eww, that’s kind of creepy. People could take this the wrong way.’”
Did you guys like the sort of weird sense of humor running through the film? I found it somewhat odd at times.
Like Luke flippantly tossing the lightsaber over his shoulder......and when Rey is telepathing with a shirtless Kylo, she says "you could have put a shirt on"
It was a little different at times....like they were almost making fun of themselves.... [Reply]

it wasn't "you could have put a shirt on" it was "can you at least put a shirt on"... because these "sessions" just happened randomly (or rather when Snoke forced it upon them). Not like Ren knew he was suddenly going to be face-timing with Rey and could properly dress first. [Reply]

ok....but it was played for laughs. People laughed at her comment. [Reply]

Yeah, well if the gunners on Vader's Executor weren't so fucking lazy and would have blown apart a random escape pod launching from Leia's captured ship, Luke would have been selling ditch weed at Tosche Station to a bunch of loser teenagers when he wasn't back on the farm telling that old fart Uncle Owen to SHUT THE FUCK UP AND DRINK YOUR ASS MILK OLD MAN during the time of The Last Jedi.
