[Avodah] Fighting To Be Chazan?

[Ben Waxman]

The below only works if you assume that saying Kaddish is a magic formula. 
You either say it or you don't.

However if someone is mevateir, without fighting, to someone with a greater 
claim, preserves the peace (ie acts like a mensch), that also gets "credit".
