**2019**

- [3411897-029](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3411897-029) [condition/argued] -- Decentralized underwriting is a necessary precondition for decentralized commerce: without something functioning as an insurance policy when commercial risks materialize, the public has no reason to pursue the benefits of decentralized commerce.
  > Without someone or something that functions as an insurance policy should risks in commerce materialize, the public has no reason to try to benefit from the potential benefits of decentralized commerce,

- [3411897-034](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3411897-034) [condition/argued] -- The flexibility that human business requires will unlikely ever be attained in existing decentralized protocols unless a decentralized verification system is built into decentralized commerce.
  > While more sophisticated smart contracts over time can fulfill some of these human business requirements, the needed flexibility in existing decentralized protocols will unlikely ever be attained unless a decentralized verification system is built into decentralized commerce.

- [3411897-039](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3411897-039) [condition/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Without a core common ethical denominator, decentralized systems cannot last: they lose coherence, become attackable, and can be corrupted, leading to suboptimal societal outcomes.

**2024**

- [4755632-001](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4755632-001) [condition/argued] -- Data quality is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for AI growth: algorithms, computing power, and developer expertise also play significant roles, yet access to quality datasets remains a fundamental requirement for advancing AI.
  > data quality alone is not sufficient for AI growth and its disruption and reinvention of business models, the algorithms, computing power, and expertise of developers also play significant roles
