Understanding accountability in blockchain systems presents the following source proposition: A qualitative field study of the Australian blockchain technology landscape is conducted, with insights garnered from 18 blockchain experts. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The removal of checks and balances, agent monitoring, audit requirements, disclosure regimes, market pressure, and executive compensation schemes produces a qualitative shift in efficiency in the agency relationship and in corporate governance overall. 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.
