I think what he's saying is that your use of the plural (see above)
implies a BOFL (benevolent oligarchy for life), rather than a BDFL. A
BOFL for life would be deplorable. There would be endless morbid
discussions about which combination of bus accidents should bring the
oligarchy to an end.
I shudder to think of it.
