What Larry has admitted is that he didn't pay enough attention to questions of community governance. As many of you know, I've been very noisy on the subject of governance models. I even have a peer-reviewed publication or two on the subject. I don't fault Larry for overlooking the issue of community governance models. How was he to know?
But it's also not clear to me how to do anything about the problem of dysfunctional governance (on WP or anywhere else in human society) beyond writing a peer-reviewed analysis of the problem and pointing to some small demonstrations of an alternative governance model.
