**Affirmed position.** B-Privacy: Defining and Enforcing Privacy in Weighted Voting should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that A perfectly democratic society would require complete transparency even though most societies draw the line well short of it, so a DAO should specify explicitly where it places the boundary between bureaucratic transparency and secrecy. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**
