2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“It is true that if the language of the statute is considered alone, the result is not clear. But the language of the section does not stand alone and should not be construed as though it did.... A corporation without fear of sanction could have the concededly prohibited interlocking directorate, and, if detected, simply replace the ousted director with another interlocking board member.
