A multi-agent game for studying human decision-making presents the following source proposition: Understanding how human beings delegate tasks to trustees when presented with reputation information is important for building trust models for human-agent collectives. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that For the parts of dealmaking and other legal tasks that cannot be placed on a blockchain, the role of non blockchainable agents of trust may expand, and blockchain driven disintermediation of law may itself create additional legal tasks requiring human lawyers. 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.
