I think both my and your examples are mistaken.  The problem here (IMO,
I'm still waiting for clarification from the author), which is worth to
discuss is: There is some knowledge, from which you derive other
knowledge and present it as your achievement.  Is it OK to require you
have also reference the original knowledge in your presentation?
