There is no judgement on aTriz or other meriters, I think. But he and the other meriters have to be informed. It is also important for aTriz as campaign manager and the forum, to be informed about plagarizm.
To your main point. Single cases like your researched one are not representing the "truth about the Merit system". Only if you would find a majority of Merits/relevant numbers of Merits, given for plagarized posts, would confirm your conclusion.
But it shows, that managers, meriters and we all must pay higher attention to this problem.

You can see to whom exactly aTriz gave her Merit. There are no random people on this list. They are all her friends or write messages against her enemies. The casual person in this list is one. But this is not entirely accidental. He participates in her bounty and engaged in plagiarism. 50% is a good indicator of the uniqueness of the text. Unfortunately, they are not here.

P.S. I hope I will not be burned at the stake like a witch. Since climbing into a hornet's nest is death.
