Have you seen the French version? I can't find it in the article and not much comes up regarding this case in English.
I would like to see Lightman's methods applied to a control group. Would he "find" plagiarism everywhere? The most clear cases were not found by him but merely reported to him. Something seems like bull here. Not all the instances. Something is off.
