**Affirmed position.** Frequency adjusted multi-agent Q-learning presents the following source proposition: In today's interconnected world, such systems are ubiquitous in many domains, including auctions in economics, swarm robotics in computer science, and politics in social sciences. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Domains using multi agent competition will exhibit fifteen to thirty percent higher quality scores than single agent selection, controlling for agent capability. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
