Pathways to Performance: Configurations for Integration in Decentralized Autonomous Organization should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Reputational penalties for non performance in a DAO are free from racial and cultural bias, because token holders are unlikely even to know one another.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
