Correction: Cost of Decentralization: Governance-Free Design and User Adoption in a DeFi Stablecoin Bank-An Empirical Investigation should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Because the tension between efficiency and security demands a careful estimate of the hot money ratio, a sophisticated decentralized governance system is crucial for any efficient stablecoin. 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.

Holds when

Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
External evidence level: metadata only.
Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
