Governance of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) and the Legal Nature of Smart Contracts presents the following source proposition: DAO는 Decentralized Autonomous Organization의 약자로 ‘Dao’로 발음된다. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The immutability of blockchain ledgers is itself a vulnerability, because once a DAO is in operation its essential construction is very difficult to alter should a bug in the code appear. 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.
