Even if you accept his thesis, and I'm not sure I do, it's not clear to 
me that it would be possible to create a reasonable definition of what 
constituted the "same" company.

I also have no idea whether it would be legal to put such restrictions 
in the articles - somebody would probably need to research UK companies 
law to work that out.
