You can say it has nothing to do with Chicago but it's obvious you keep harping on this issue because you're obsessed with the relative comparisons between the NY families and the Outfit.

Regardless of how much quality or discipline the Outfit may have, it doesn't have what even the most reckless NY family has - and that's a significant enough recruiting pool to stave off general attrition for as long as possible. That's why even the Colombos will outlast the Chicago mob. That's what you don't take into consideration or at least seem to ignore.
