"To defend the truth, to articulate it with humility and conviction, and to bear witness to it in life are therefore exacting and indispensable forms of charity."

Governance versus profit

No failure in corporate governance disproves the apodictic axiom of aiming at profit maximizing in every and all properly defined firm or entreprenurial project. What a failure in corporate governance demonstrates is merely the coexistence within the company of several differenciated firms, at least one of which exerts what from the ownership's point of view of the other firms is seen as coercion. This coercion, just to be clear, is different from market competition.
