I have no idea how you derived this conclusion from what I've said.
I can resonate with an example like this because I learn tango right now and yes... there are masters that could help one improve the technique BUT... I don't see how this constitutes a valid example since is mixing current model with what I was exploring. If plane tickets cost thousand of euros, if space renting is highly expensive... and if everyone involved has a high enough imperative to get a lot of money... you will get something like this expensive bachata festival. If transportation, food and lodging would be free.... masters could come only to build status. An you will not need any permission from a centralized authority. Local events authority involved might be involved for scheduling some event locations...
Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant with completely free transportation. Given global warming I'm not sure that we want to have completely free transportation. We probably do want some system that doesn't double the amount of plane travel by allowing anybody to jet around all the time.
That still gives the local event authority power. Markets are good ways to decide whether a given location will be used to hold event A or event B.
Not all problems are well solved via markets, but trying to solve every problem through discussion and no problem via markets is a bad idea.
