Unless I'm mistaken, I think the point of contention here is whether centralized economic decisions can work sometimes (his point?) versus can never ever work (your point?). And by "work", I do not mean "work absolutely perfectly".

Perhaps centralized economic planning can work, for a period of time.

Five year plans appear historically sketchy.
