**Affirmed position.** The Blockchain Governance Crisis From the Perspective of Corporate Theory should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that German commentators, whose expertise German courts rely on heavily, concluded after the financial crisis that managers do not act reasonably under the German business judgment rule if the risks they take on behalf of the corporation result in the demise of the corporation. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
