**Affirmed position.** A Systematic Review and Performance Evaluation of Open-Source Tools for Smart Contract Vulnerability Detection presents the following source proposition: With the rise of blockchain technology, the security issues of smart contracts have become increasingly critical. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Rigid code is law contracts must become extremely complex to cover the eventualities of real business situations, and bugs or hacks can never be certainly precluded in any programmable contract. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
