Anecdote: I remember in a scientific writing class in college, the professor told us that we should always give credit when citing someone. I asked her if that was just a good practice and courtesy, or an actual moral obligation. She just repeated herself "you should always give credit" and didn't seem to understand my question.
- ThoAppelsin 8y agoIt seems like she meant to say that it is wrong not to give that credit, i.e. it is not just a good practice, not only a moral obligation that you become only immoral for not complying, but a requirement, a must that if you do not do it, then you are in the wrong.
