**Affirmed position.** Privacy-Enhanced One-to-Many Biometric System Using Smart Contracts: A New Framework presents the following source proposition: Biometric systems play a crucial role in identity verification and access control, but their deployment raises significant privacy challenges due to the sensitive nature of biometric data. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized reputation verification is the backstop for smart contracting: it makes mathematically rigid smart contracts more adjustable for business needs and validates smart contract templates, which raises counterparty trust and removes the need for costly back-testing. 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.
