**Affirmed position.** Epistemic Extraction in AI Governance: Institutional Design and Participation in the Global South presents the following source proposition: Participation is therefore not neutral inclusion but conditional recognition. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The on-chain reputation score becomes a universal, jurisdiction-neutral credential for digital-law expertise, analogous to a dynamically updated h-index for legal scholarship but cryptographically verifiable and immune to institutional capture. 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.
