oh ic you mean change. maybe this is a good place to start about change process for FOSS, IETF and Bitcoin "The Tao of Bitcoin Development" https://medium.com/@bergealex4/the-tao-of-bitcoin-development-ff093c6155cd … no governance does not mean no change. governance in crypto lingo means human discretion over economic policy.

no governance does not mean not fixing a bug, not implementing win-win improvements, in a backwards compatible way that does not impinge on anyone's ownership, functionality, nor supply etc.

"Governance" is the process of how rules are made, changed and implemented. Since these things occur in the bitcoin protocol, it has governance. Applying very narrow definitions outside the norms hampers meaningful discourse.

How so? What is an example of where such confusion might arise?

The is implication of the term "ruthless minimization" taken to the extreme leads to control by a single person/entity or tiny group of individuals. That's what it says to me anyway.

That's quite an imagination you have. No, it's about what beliefs among the decentralized devs and node operators will produce the most trust-minimized outcomes. When these decentralized decision-makers believe in ruthlessly minimizing the number of decisions they need to make.

Your definition provides some clarity behind what you were thinking. Taken by itself it is not a stretch to imagine "ruthless minimization" leading to centralized control of something.

It seems a stretch to me, but thank you for the opportunity to clarify.
