Yes, I agree with Zachariah.
This raises what Håvard Haarstad and I think is a weak point or a point that deserves more attention in Cottrell and Cockshot’s model.
We call it the problem of “informed participation”. Can we open all spheres of decision making to all that have a interests on it, irrespective of their command upon the issue? Especially, if it is a highly technical one.
In principle, it could sound like an elitist way of reasoning, but our point is that if we agree to open it without any consideration, one have to offer an answer to the risks involved in making wrong decisions by the wrong people.
This forms part of our paper: LA IMPOSIBILIDAD DELCÁLCULO ECONÓMICO «REVISADA» EN EL SOCIALISMO MARXISTA.

I meant 'centralized' in the sense that it cannot be taken at the 'plant
level' since it concerns the overall economic development. So from a
democratic point of view it has to be taken at a higher level.
