**Affirmed position.** Why, Who, What, When and How about Explainability in Human-Agent Systems presents the following source proposition: We then consider when the user should be presented with this information. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Post hoc explainability techniques do not by themselves establish trustworthiness; the explanations they produce must additionally be verified against human knowledge. 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
