*as well as centralized?...sure it can, which means that it's centralized. What it cannot be is completely independent.

No, you aren't understanding. “organization” can label something that is centralized or something decentralized/distributed. Or it can be anywhere in between. “Organization” implies some structure, it doesn't imply that the structure is heirarchical/centralized, though.
> What it cannot be is completely independent.
Yes, whether centralized or distributed an organization can also be completely independent (or not, either way), which is a separate issue.
