> Hinton and LeCun intentionally failed to cite prior work by others (including himself) This is a well established and easy to verify fact. A peer of mine from Hinton's lab once told a story of how one researcher (presumably from his lab or from one of his coworker's lab) intentionally mispelled citations so that the author's citation count does not go up on google-scholar, citeseer etc. He did not name the names though.
