The Blendeds won because they controlled the source of LCM lore and dogma — the LSM.
And while there are several Blendeds rather than just one, the issue is that they realized that with the diversity of what was actually practiced, and what was and was not known concerning the issues of the past, no one of them could reasonably rise to preeminence and maintain what was left. And even in that they failed because of TC and DYL.
But I would suggest that there is a "hidden" hierarchy among the Blendeds. In other words, some are more blended than others. Maybe a triumvirate of BP, RK, and RG. All others are given specific local or regional responsibilities, but these are more global.
And so
"Four legs good, two legs bad"
becomes
"Four legs good, two legs better"
As for the title of the thread, "Another Guru," I am reminded of a line from the Disney animated movie,
Aladdin, in which some local guy watching a procession of pomp and circumstance of a noble coming to see the princess, says "another suitor for the princess" in a very sarcastic manner.
And so, with apologies to Monty Python, we have
"Another guru"
"And there was much rejoicing" "yea.."
