I think a better question would be; why did the emperor chose a warmaster at all? He would've been aware of the trival squables between his sons, placing one above all others would surely fuel jealosy and envy. In retrospect this has surely fuelled much of the chaos and conflict of the Horus heresy. How could it be that a being such as the Emperor still chose this course of action?

Are his Primarchs, genius and superhuman, not capable of leading the great crusade as a well-oiled unit?
