I'll agree that the Bolton reasoning is more logical, as well as not making the watch look like short sighted idiots. Given how the trailer shows Tormound fighting in the north and a clear divide between Thorne and Davos, probably over Jon's resurrection, this death might see the factions at castle black divide.

The mutineers could launch a surprise attack on the wildlings. The main threat wasn't just the white walkers but the wildlings launching another attempt to get over the wall. Hosting them and slaughtering them by surprise might explain Thorne's apparent idiocy. Interpretation all depends on what happens next at castle black
