That's the part that bugged me the most. They obviously know of prior effort. There are a lot of similarities; why don't they want to admit that they're standing on the toes of giants. They make one (back-handed) reference to Inferno, while there are many similarities. Is Ethics a required subject in Engineering anymore?
