[null and void]

Any "good" leadership would shut it down.

Good leadership? Such is nearly unprecedented!

I can think of only one case where a leader has deliberately shut down his own successful organization on philosophical/moral grounds:

The noted endocrinologist, John Cortelyou, President of De Paul University in Chicago, was elected secretary of a newly founded organization for Roman Catholic scientists. He promptly set about disbanding the group. Cortelyou, whose specialty is the study of endocrine glands in amphibian animals, explained his actions thus: "There are no Catholic frogs."

(although the Huguenots did have their problems with them)...

I believe your point was that a major problem with COS was its leadership.

My reply was that good leadership would shut it down.

Yes, nearly unprecedented, and not likely with COS.

I was making somewhat of a joke: as long as it exists it will have bad leadership. When it no longer exists you will know it had good leadership.
