After all, if he were to go to the trouble of fully reading and understanding the text, he could rewrite it in his own words--even add some insights of his own.<br /><br />Anyway, this seems to come up a lot with plagiarists, that they can't leave the source material alone. Apparently the plagiarism process is more difficult than it looks; it's not so easy to move words around without changing the meaning of a text!Andrew Gelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02715992780769751789noreply@blogger.com
