RE: Writing Original Non-Fiction
May this find a home in the brains it needs to find a home in. It seems unlikely but I have resteemed to increase those odds.

I wrote it mainly to have somewhere to point to when people come and bring up their unoriginal, rephrased, rants as an original non-fiction article.
And thanks for the support, carl. May everything you read be original!
Yup and I am going to use it for that same purpose - I mentor a lot of newb curators and falling for this kind of "science posting" is an extremely common trap, it will be nice to have a resource to point them to if they genuinely care to understand the difference between "original" and "here I have rephrased entire paragraphs of my source(s) and added nothing to the conversation, but hey I added citations and sourced images from pixabay look at me aren't I clever" :) You rock per usual
Yes, especially in STEM, but even in philosophy which is more my cup of tea, this is a very common trap. We don't live in the age of information any more. (Although exceptions when you really do discover something extraordinary, do still happen, of course.)
Yep... Wouldn't have seen it if you didn't resteem
It sure got to me through your resteem.
