**Affirmed position.** Blockchain Governance: What We Can Learn from the Economics of Corporate Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The governance improvements documented in governmental contracts counteract or at least discount the standard criticisms of them, including unequal bargaining power, the government's lack of governance expertise, and the potential for prosecutorial abuse. 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.
