Smart Contracts: Violations, Applications and Comparisons presents the following source proposition: Then we move on to Smart Contracts, discuss its working and lifecycle. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The DAO failed because of fundamental flaws in its own code, which allowed hackers to move one third of its funds to a subsidiary account, showing that governance built entirely on smart contracts inherits the defects of its code. 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.
