We're still talking about Copyright, not Patents. However, I agree entirely. I don't think I could come up with a function that verifies if a given index is valid in a given array that is substantially different than that.

That's not how copyright works. If two people come up with the same thing independently there is no violation. There is only a violation if you actually copied it.
