Accountability, narrative reporting and legitimation presents the following source proposition: It involves the detailed examination of the narrative disclosures contained in the annual reports, including the Statement of Service Performance, over the period of the study. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because creditor disclosure obligations in bankruptcy are minimal and a general statement of the type of claim often suffices, hedge funds' penchant for secrecy carries over into the bankruptcy process even when they participate as debt holders. 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.
