**Affirmed position.** Hedge Fund Regulation in Europe and its Impact on Switzerland should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Based on these findings, adviser size may not matter as much for policy adjustments and SEC rule making as the hedge fund industry and its representatives have claimed. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through hedge fund regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
