And if it actually was a satellite?
shooting it down would have looked like a weakness.

No it would not have.  NK is clearly violating UN ICBM regulations that prohibit them from launching them.  In any case, satelite or missile, it was launched upon a Taepodong-2 ballistic missile that threatens the greater Pacific area.
