Hi Larry,
I'd agree that close micing of M-S isn't required for groups/choirs as those musical source are themselves quite wide as compared to a single guitar. My comment was only meant to apply to M-S recording for a single guitar. I'll also admit my experience is much less than many other commenting here, and is partly based on theory of M-S recording and on the characteristics of a figure 8 mic as it moves away from the source.
