**Affirmed position.** Accountability and Creating Accountability: a Framework for Exploring Behavioural Perspectives of Corporate Governance presents the following source proposition: This response to Roberts, McNulty and Stiles suggests a framework for exploring behavioural perspectives of boards and corporate governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Traditional board defenses such as staggered boards and poison pills protect incumbent boards at the cost of value creation and reduce board accountability to shareholders, even when they succeed in defeating an activist campaign. 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.
