I can't agree with that. If you said that we make
small changes to the wheel, so that it runs smoother,
then I'd applaud your remark. Otherwise, it just serves
to plagiarists in this and other fields of research to
feel better about themselves. After all, adding small
contributions to other people's work is the usual, ethical,
and expected thing to do in research. As it is ethical
and expected for one to recognize the origin of that work.
Anyway, if that were the case, that would explain why
the Nobel Prize is not awarded to computer scientists.
