On an intellectual level, I allow that your hypothesis is a plausible explanation. But as with the "God is passive" theory, I cannot accept it either. It doesn't seem consistent to me, especially in light of this (apocryphal?) story of McKay and his petitioning the Lord on the subject.

Not your assumption? Isn't that exactly what you are expressing here:
"No, instead my objection is that it must necessarily lead to the conclusion that God is not nearly so concerned with how his church is guided (or how his children are taught about its precepts) as we all thought. "
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.
