... people don't plagiarize by mistake, it is always intentional.

What do you think? Is plagiarism always intentional or can there be some specific cases in which it is not? It is not clear to me.

Extraordinarily unlikely to ever be "unintentional" -- the quote above pretty much sums it up.

The reason has to do something with filling up the universe with monkeys and giving them typewriters... One of them is more likely to bang out a bitcoin private key on accident than a paragraph from Shakespeare... or something.

Also, Occam's Razor dictates that people are just lazy AF.


How hard is it to come up with original thought exactly anyway? Pretty dang hard, apparently.
