“he was considered “not deceived” because his special role as spokesman for mankind, designated leader and defender of God was deliberately bypassed by satan.”

Adam must not have been much of a defender if his territory was so easily invaded.
 If this is indeed the case, wouldn’t this “inability” to properly take leadership logically disqualify him from further authority? I mean, in the business world, if someone abuses their authority and essentially ruins the company (Enron), you’re not going to give them more authority. 
So why would God see that Eve had been deceived and Adam had knowingly chosen wrong, but then place Adam with all the authority? Why would he place either in authority?
