**Affirmed position.** Improving User Satisfaction in Agent-Based Electronic Marketplaces by Reputation Modelling and Adjustable Product Quality presents the following source proposition: We also consider the possible existence of dishonest selling agents in the market. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that SingularityNet's reputation system, which tracks self-reported transaction quality, transaction value, duration of satisfaction, and prior reputation weights, will have its value eroded by the sockpuppet attack once the system becomes valuable enough to merit attack, because it does not implement the other necessities. 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
