  In a numerical experiment, we remove center vortices from an ensemble of
lattice SU(2) gauge configurations. This removal adds short-range disorder.
Nevertheless, we observe long-range order in the modified ensemble: confinement
is lost and chiral symmetry is restored (together with trivial topology),
proving that center vortices are responsible for both phenomena. As for the
Abelian monopoles, they survive but their percolation properties are lost.
