**Affirmed position.** Towards Secure and Trusted-by-Design Smart Contracts presents the following source proposition: Most of the time, evidential transactions occur in the context of complex procedures, called evidential protocols, among physical agents. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contract governance reduces the potential for human error and guarantees consistent application of governance protocols, features often lacking in purely AI driven supervision, although consensus delays may occur. 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
