**Affirmed position.** Game theory for autonomous AI systems in corporate governance. presents the following source proposition: We will define a strategy as a complete description of how a system will behave under all possible circumstances. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Honesty would be the wrong strategy for an agent if the contract were anonymous and its resolution did not affect future contracts, because that situation is a single-stage zero-sum game in which stealing all the entrusted wealth is optimal. 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.
