The parafascicular thalamus steers attention to facilitate learning should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The SEC's failure to interpret Section 402 of Sarbanes-Oxley, while not a formal retraction, shows that Section 402 is another instance of politically motivated rulemaking that later has to be scaled back. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic regulation, 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.
