DAO Vulnerability Mapping presents the following source proposition: The concept of DAOs is driven by an ideology of self-governance through technological infrastructure. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The concept of a DAO fails if it becomes centralized, and centralization in governance is the largest single threat to a DAO. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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