I'm sure you are being factious.
However, and seriously, the passage does not mean to follow leadership blindly.
"Considering" in the Greek means, "to look at attentively, to consider well, to observe accurately."
No one is given carte blanche with the Gospel. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but the Bible never gives a person permission to follow whatever path they think is right - in their own eyes.
