Accountability for Collective Wrongdoing presents the following source proposition: But little attention is given to the consequences of holding groups accountable for wrongdoing. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Accountability is a structural concern in DeFi: without a central entity it can become unclear who is responsible for wrongdoing, and when problems arise no central party can freeze transactions, fix problems, or restore normal operations. 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.
