**Affirmed position.** The Boon and Bane of Blockchain: Getting the Governance Right should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Adoption of blockchain is costly and technically difficult because the technology is continually evolving and integrating blockchain databases with existing systems raises many technical challenges, such as interfacing a payment ledger with a vehicle's control software. 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.
