Hashimoto, the commander of the I-176, the sub that sank the USS Indianapolis, doesn't even see the flaw in the strategy. But, the Germans, with their air-borne reconnaissance, and more restricted waters could conduct their level of "Commerce Raiding". Perhaps the IJN simply had too much ocean to cover with the number of vessels and aircraft they were able to maintain.
Read this pioneer effort to analyze the IJN's position. The chronological organization is weak, and the book is far more interested in anecdotes than chronology, a considerable drawback.
I had the Cassell edition also published in February, 1954, to read.½
