**Affirmed position.** Towards a Cognitive Meta-Model for Adaptive Trust and Reputation in Open Multi-Agent Systems presents the following source proposition: They offer means of evaluating and reducing risks of cooperation in the presence of uncertainty. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Despite open issues and possible shortcomings, the multimanager series trust structure appears to offer lasting substantive governance improvements for mutual funds. 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.
