**Affirmed position.** From Corporate Governance to Crypto-Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that However rules are formalized in a realistic setting, there exist strategies that follow the rules yet subvert the intentions of the framers, so legal strategies will always be available that profit an individual adversary at the expense of the group. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- realistic repeated games
- players able to precommit to strategies
