Politics of School-Based Management should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Where a DAO is automated around a single centralized point of failure, the work of decentralizing and giving members redundant power is wasted, because the point of failure functions as a supreme leader and full centralization would be more efficient. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralization governance, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
