Read the following argument carefully. Match each excerpt from the argument (on the left) to the correct description of its structural role in the reasoning (on the right).
Argument:
Despite the assertions of some legal scholars, the recent proliferation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) does not necessitate a fundamental rewrite of current corporate liability laws. It must be conceded that DAOs lack traditional centralized management, a characteristic those scholars claim renders them immune to statutes requiring an identifiable corporate officer for liability purposes. However, the foundational smart contracts of any DAO establish immutable, predetermined rules for capital allocation, making them functionally analogous to a traditional corporate charter. Because entities governed primarily by rigid corporate charters have historically been successfully regulated under existing legal precedents, the supposedly unprecedented management structure of DAOs actually presents only a superficial jurisdictional challenge.
- "...the recent proliferation of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) does not necessitate a fundamental rewrite of current corporate liability laws."The primary conclusion the argument seeks to establish.
- "...DAOs lack traditional centralized management..."A concession made by the author to a premise of the opposing argument.
- "...the foundational smart contracts of any DAO establish immutable, predetermined rules for capital allocation, making them functionally analogous to a traditional corporate charter."A premise advanced to justify an intermediate conclusion.
- "...the supposedly unprecedented management structure of DAOs actually presents only a superficial jurisdictional challenge."An intermediate conclusion drawn to support the argument's primary conclusion.
