**Affirmed position.** Altered States presents the following source proposition: Or has it made our governing institutions less accountable to citizens? This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that As law becomes more detailed and specialized it becomes less accessible to the general public, which complicates citizens' ability to understand the rules governing them and discourages engagement and participation in democratic processes. 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.
