Kaal's claim that more disclosure does not always mean better governance is qualified, not displaced, by a more targeted metric: a change-aware screen of the edited region can reduce some obvious proxy-gaming (zero credit to a no-op; near-zero credit to some, though not all, deletion-based gaming patches) while still crediting genuine partial edits, but the source treats that screen as a cheap preliminary filter before execution-based analysis, not as a repair-quality metric.

• where evaluators can isolate the region in which a meaningful change should occur
• where the screen is followed by deeper execution-based evaluation
• where known and unknown gaming strategies remain possible
• The position is Kaal's own cross-domain application of the cited claim; the source's authors do not make it.
• The source passage is taken from the source abstract; the full paper was not reviewed.
• The source is an empirical study of LLM-based C/C++ single-function vulnerability repair, not funds or securities regulation.
