    Yes, but it’s still wrong, if true. Plagiarism isn’t just unethical, it’s punitive in most places. I don’t see anything bad about calling it out.

      Oh absolutely. And this being in academia, they likely will lose their job over it - like that Harvard professor who was accused of a highly similar form of plagiarism (borrowing long stretches of text while failing to cite the original source material). I was pointing out the absurdity of not doing that for politicians and CEOs:-(.
