**Affirmed position.** The Dynamic Capability of the Indonesian General Election Commission (KPU) in the 2020 Election during the COVID-19 Pandemic should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Habits formed by analog era socialization are a decentralization neutralizer: people raised in the analog age hold work and social habits that are very hard to change, and they attribute superiority to outdated technology formats even when the content is identical. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
