**Affirmed position.** No accounting for corporate governance identifies a concrete proxy-voting failure: voting rights were not tracked when securities were lent, leading to improper vote counts. This extends Kaal's requirement that voting systems count votes robustly and transparently by showing that entitlement tracking is part of accurate counting. The evidence concerns corporate proxy voting, not quadratic voting or DAO manipulation.

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: substantively reviewed abstract-level qualification.
- Primary mapping confidence: 0.62.
- The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
- Evidence is limited to an exact proposition in a Crossref-indexed abstract; full text was not reviewed.
- No relationship is treated as external endorsement, citation, causation, or validation of a broader Kaal claim.
- The source identifies an entitlement-tracking failure in corporate proxy voting: loaned securities were not tracked and votes were counted improperly. This extends Kaal's requirement for robust, transparent vote counting with a distinct mechanism showing why accurate voting infrastructure must track who holds the vote; it does not study quadratic voting or DAOs.
