I believe you are correct, but only vacuously! If the
process for creating Ranches is broken, then they aren't
just created outside the ownership of the dudes that were
intended to own them-- they aren't created /at all/, and
so "all the Ranches in existence" (an empty set) are owned
by the L&FD, and "none have ever been destroyed" because
none have ever been created in the first place!
But aren't you are forgetting the effects of automatic
self-ratification, which both creates and destroys
Ranches in accordance with (ironically) announcements
by the SoA? This does not depend on the (quite possibly
broken) AAA contract, but only on the (probably more
robust, because this sort of thing used to happen all
the time) rules.
