- [3782214-029](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782214-029) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- If unanimous consensus is strongly incentivized in every validation pool, a DAO will degenerate quickly, because members holding minority opinions will not raise alternatives for fear of losing all their reputation tokens; this is why loosely coupled votes are needed.

- [3782214-030](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782214-030) [mechanism/argued] -- Loosely coupled voting, in which staked reputation cannot be lost, encourages dissenting opinions, while tightly coupled voting, in which losing stakes are redistributed, guarantees consensus; a DAO steers deliberation by moving between the two.
