This is purely speculative because I haven't been inside an org for many years now, but after I left the CofS I was told that no one in the CofS is allowed to name a Scientology staff member (much less Miscavige himself) as an SP.
Which leads me to this suggestion;
I think the truth is that the CofS is afraid of the tech of SP / PTSness because it knows it's bigger than they are. If either staff or public were allowed to carry out an SP rundown, on any scale, and were allowed to name any terminal as an SP which came up, the Church would be in big trouble.
There is a precedent for this; according to Pilot, the CofS once piloted an ethics rundown which was both comprehensive and very searching. They ended up withdrawing it because it put the people it was run on in open conflict with the Orgs and CofS policy, which they tried to fix - good for them, but not so good for the CofS which promptly declared them.
PTSness we might have to agree to differ on, but as has been pointed out by a number of people in this thread, a number of other authors have described personality types or disorders not all that different from SPdom. Are they to be rejected as well?
If Scientology actually produced OT's, the first thing a free being would do is look at the organization and the universe around it, cognite and try and fix the organization - which would of course fail, and then the being would actively work against the organization and drop allegiance to it. The only way you can remain in the Cof$ is to betray your own observations. Can't be done any other way. So the more able beings leave, because they can't ignore their own conscience and integrity, and the "OT" beings remain and hold a blindness in place in order to do so. That's hard to do, longterm, quite a skill. Makes them terminally stupid in the long run.
