Consider it a cultural paranoia (on my part, if not on David's). For those
of us who've been through or are in an American University there is are two
things going on. One, the assumption that original, thought is no longer
possible - papers are assigned that require a certain number of references,
probably just so students read outside the assigned text, but the habit gets
hardwired. And two, fear of future investigative wrath. Can you see the
headlines of 2020? "Famous writer and university professor found to have
stolen an idea. For proof, go to moq. archive.....
