Robustness against mistakes comes from dispersion of power, it is not necessary for a democracy. A genocide can happen in a democratic system, but in that event people theoretically have some way of reigning in the powers that be.

That is true. I used the term democracy too broadly. Dispersion of power is crucial for the health and longevity of a democracy.
