**Affirmed position.** Decentralization, governance, and the new planning for local-level development should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The centralized planning of the holistic social engineer forces him to fall back on piecemeal improvisation and to engage in unintended actions, producing the phenomenon of unplanned planning. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralization governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
