**Affirmed position.** Retraction Notice: Review on the methods involved in Blockchain Technology presents the following source proposition: This is largely because it allows mutually distrustful organizations to exchange information without relying on the financial value of trusted third parties and interacting parties. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that It is the completely decentralized network connectivity via the internet, not blockchain's digital signatures, that provides the greatest protection against fraud, because connectivity puts multiple copies of the chain in the hands of all participants. 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.
