**Affirmed position.** The EXTENSIN enigma should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Investor suitability standards would address the sophistication problem by requiring independent verification that investors in highly complex financial products can evaluate investment risk independently and are capable of making independent investment decisions. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
