It NECESSARILY leads to the conclusion that God is not concerned with how the church is guided is a pretty strong phrasing for something you are repeating but don't believe.

I didn't say I didn't believe it. I said I didn't assume it. But, whatever, it's not really important.

The point is, there are people who think this way ... that God just kind of allowed his prophets to do whatever they wanted until Kimball came along. I don't find that thought to be consistent with the rest of what we know about Him.
