No, my point is that an algorithm can only control very few things - most governance actions are manual and attacks can exploit anything.

Yes that's fair, but if you choose algos/chains with actual distributed governance then you at least the voting has to happen on-chain so you can sell if you don't agree with the way a vote is going.

You can sometimes do the same with companies but definitely not always.
