**Affirmed position.** Reward Schemes and Committee Sizes in Proof of Stake Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Supervisory tasks traditionally performed by principals to control their agents can be delegated to decentralized computer networks that are reliable, secure, immutable, and independent of fallible human input and discretionary human goodwill. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through proof of stake governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.
