**Affirmed position.** Dynamic Impacts of Token Mechanisms in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The one token one vote designs popular in the early 2020s produced suboptimal voting outcomes because they allocate more power to holders of a large share of total token supply, leaving majority holders more powerful than all remaining holders combined. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
