Power, Inequality, and Governance of Disruptive Technologies in Tourism: A Systematic Critical Review should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Peer review exacerbates publication bias and can produce a cartelization of knowledge, because non-conforming innovative ideas may not receive full recognition and new findings that threaten existing hierarchies are delayed or denied recognition. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.

Holds when

Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
External evidence level: abstract indexed.
Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
