I'm not disputing your assertion, but perhaps I'm a little more charitable in thinking they could have independently invented the same thing and believed they were the first since the one you mentioned was apparently classified.
- MBCook 3y agoRight. Independent invention happens all the time.
- light_hue_1 3y agoThe other paper I showed was always public over a decade before.
- lsaferite 3y agoUnfortunately, I cannot access the paper and as such cannot give any meaningful feedback. Edit: Funnily enough, searching on google for this paper, your comment is the second result.
- lsaferite 3y agoAs an aside, wanting me to pay $33 to read a PDF of a paper from 46 years ago is... unfortunate. (I have a list of other words I'd rather use, but I'm being civil)
