**Affirmed position.** Regulating Autonomy in Civilian Drones: Towards a Spectral Approach should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Although federal securities law is the main instrument countries use to regulate ICO technology, there is also concern about regulating exchanges, which may fall outside federal securities laws at least in part. 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.
