I wasn't aware that either Hof or Nestor were academics so I'm not sure how it's relevant.
As to the accusation that they've stolen an idea, someone should outline their accusation explicitly and then, far more importantly, explain why I should care. As I've pointed out, Patanjali wouldn't (or you can point out why he would, that would be interesting).
- lenkite 5y ago> I wasn't aware that either Hof or Nestor were academics so I'm not sure how it's relevant. Classic Strawman Argument. Sad to see this on HN. I never claimed they were academics. Just that doing this in academics would get you banned. They are journalists. The century-old Society for Professional Journalists has a simple statement on plagiarism in its Code of Ethics: “Never plagiarize. Always attribute.” The outline has already been made clear by several posters in this thread.

We're on a thread where someone is accusing Hof and Nestor of plagiarism and you made that comment as part of the thread > I never claimed they were academics. Just that doing this in academics would get you banned. If you want to make it extra clear that it's irrelevant, that's fine by me, but it's not a straw man either way.
