Of course it won't be answered or dealt with in a straightforward manner (although it might now that I've posted this) because to do so wouldbe to either commit logical suicide or admit that apostolic succession is errant.

I don't know that it will be answered due to the fact that the problem has already been posed and unanswered. Not only was the problem unanswered, the exact same logic that brought about the unresolved issue is the basis for this entire thread. It is intellectually dishonest to base an entire argument on a proof that is yet to be provided.
