Logan's response (on Facebook) to Bialosky's response:
"The eight common excuses for plagiarism:
(1) Everyone does it.
(2) It’s not really plagiarism.
(3) The plagiarisms are slight or irrelevant.
(4) I took notes from various sources and forgot the prose wasn’t mine.
(5) Quotation marks were removed by accident during editing.
(6) The passages in question are only a very small part of the book.
(7) It’s someone else’s fault.
(8) The critic who called attention to these things is the real problem."
