You and the other commenter both quoted the same aspect about agreement of the community, so see my other response.

> Decentralization in this context would mean different rules for every participant, which is not something that we want - an extreme example of individualism where everyone has different beliefs, so a group cannot accomplish anything.

That is quite interesting, thinking of extreme individualism. But in thinking about that, isn't that what the entire ecosystem of cryptocurrencies is currently doing, and any one particular cryptocurrency itself is a point of centralization?

Again, I'm just tugging at a thread here, trying to understand how it's supposed to be even conceptually possible to be "decentralized". It just seems to me that we are talking about a different form of centralization - which may be a good thing! Possibly centralization of choice, as opposed to centralization with regards to physical location (i.e. which country you live in).
