- [3782214-002](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782214-002) [failure/asserted] *(failure mode)* -- Corruption has arisen in every organizational circumstance in recorded history, including the least extreme case of identified members of a single culture interacting face to face with deep community ties, so governance design cannot assume corruption can be eliminated.
  > Throughout history, however, people have repeatedly failed to organize effectively, and corruption has arisen in every circumstance, even without anonymity, in the less extreme situation involving identified members of the same culture under face-to-face circumstances with deep community ties.

- [3782214-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782214-038) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Direct democracy failed to reflect the will of the group once villages grew into cities, because the information technology of the spoken word imposes a hard limit on how many people can speak and on the patience and endurance of listeners.
  > As villages grew to cities, direct democracy failed to reflect the will of the group. There is a limit to how many people can speak, even at an am- phitheater, because there is a limit to peoples' patience and endurance.
