- [3782191-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782191-027) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The second flaw of centralization is that a hierarchy's own success and efficiency makes members dependent on it until the structure ossifies and becomes too inflexible to reorganize and respond effectively to a novel crisis.
  > Secondly, the very success and efficiency of a hierarchy leads its members to become dependent on it, relying unquestioningly on the institution's design.

- [3782191-028](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782191-028) [condition/argued] -- Decentralized organizations outperform centralized ones precisely in the two circumstances where centralization fails: when choices multiply without bound and when novel crises arise.
  > Decentralized organizations thrive in both of these circumstances, when choices multiply without bound and when novel crises arise.
