Examining epistemological challenges of large language models in law presents the following source proposition: Regarding LLMs, the main pros concern technological innovation, economic development and the achievement of social goals and values. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Law schools should educate lawyers who add value by helping clients and society adjust to the technological environment rather than lawyers who impose unnecessary or unwise restrictions on it, since such restrictions will not stop technological development anyway. 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.
