I've grown to loathe the word decentralized. It's become a religious term, and people have broadly forgotten what it's meant to be in service of -- if they ever knew in the first place.
I agree 100% but this is what humans do to just about every word/concept/etc.
e.g.:
- Libertarianism, Anarchism, Ancap, "voluntarism".
- Statists talking about "freedom".
- Pretty much all religions.
- etc, etc, etc
