**Affirmed position.** Pathways to Performance: A Configurational Analysis of Consensus in DAOs presents the following source proposition: A critical challenge in designing these systems is achieving consensus without centralized authority, yet how consensus ensures effective governance remains underexplored. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that One-person-one-vote in DAOs equalizes voting power across participants regardless of financial stake, but it creates the risk of majority tyranny. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
