**Affirmed position.** Regulatory lag: a possible solution. [Methods of Texas Public Utility Commission] should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The rising complexity of innovation driven regulatory issues confuses political and policy makers about rapidly emerging disruptive change, which makes a coherent political and policy solution to those challenges less likely. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through regulatory lag, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
