Which is why it's a thought experiment. Come on, this isn't complicated. Proof doesn't happen in a thought experiment. Instead, you make a compelling argument based on logic and relevant examples.

I gave an example of a situation that I believe is too complicated to function properly under anarchy. What is your counterargument?

    Proof doesn't happen in a thought experiment.

    Says who? Your conclusion of the thought experiment is completely vibes based.

    The whole exercise is a farce, since you can't prove a negative anyway.

    But what are you trying to say? That hospitals wouldn't work if they were implemented in the same exact manner as they are today. Ok, cool. The an anarchistic society would structure them differently.

    Even your centralisation argument falls flat, because a central administration could be implemented via mandate where the people in question get clearly defined powers over processes (especially where these powers end). If these rules are determined by consensus and the mandate is revokable, it's still within one definition of anarchism.
