**Affirmed position.** Enhancing Corporate Governance with Blockchain and Smart Contracts: A Systematic Review of Agency Conflict Mitigation presents the following source proposition: Agency conflicts remain a persistent challenge in corporate governance because information asymmetry and misaligned incentives can weaken monitoring and accountability. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Agency theory and the existing legal framework have failed to resolve the core agency conflict arising from the separation of ownership and control, so peaceable and productive coordination of human behavior remains wanting. 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.
