Well put. Thanks for putting words on that.

The confusion between structurelessness and decentralization is interesting in and of itself, though. It seems like it is exactly this conflation that prevents people from asking the interesting question: when does a centrally-organized social system (e.g. a business) benefit from a decentralized protocol?

It seems like this should have something to do with usage/access patterns within the business, yet we never hear about this.
