Define "steal" in either case! You can't use 6 words of consecutive sequencing. "If you steal from one author, it is plagiarism; if you steal from many, it is research."
**To define "steal" in either case: “You can't use 6 words of consecutive sequencing”—a common definition of plagiarism—by which neither stealing from one author nor from multiple authors is acceptable. The saying, “If you steal from one author, it is plagiarism; if you steal from many, it is research,”is not accurate.

ChatGPT said:
ChatGPTThe statement “You can't use 6 words of consecutive sequencing” is not a universally recognized definition of plagiarism. Plagiarism generally involves using someone else's work, ideas, or expressions without proper attribution, and the specifics can vary by context and institution. Here’s a clearer explanation:
General Definition of Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words, ideas, or work without proper acknowledgment, presenting it as if it were your own. This includes direct copying of text, paraphrasing without citation, or using someone else’s ideas or research findings without credit.
Specific Rules:
Some institutions or style guides have particular rules regarding the use of text from other sources. For instance, academic institutions often have guidelines about how much text can be used from a source before it is considered plagiarism. However, the exact rule about “6 words of consecutive sequencing” is not a standard definition and may be more of a guideline or a misinterpretation.
Common Misconception: The notion of a specific number of words (like 6) being a threshold for plagiarism is not accurate. Plagiarism is more about the context, the way content is used, and whether proper citation is provided.
To avoid plagiarism, it's important to:
Properly cite all sources.
Use quotation marks for direct quotes.
Paraphrase and rephrase information with attribution.
Follow the specific guidelines provided by your institution or publisher.
In summary, the “6 words” rule is not a definitive or standard measure of plagiarism. The key is to provide proper attribution and ensure that you are not presenting someone else's work as your own.

The quote attributed to Wilson Mizner (1876–1933), suggests that copying from a single source is considered theft, while drawing from many sources is viewed as legitimate research. Comedian Steven Wright has also echoed a similar sentiment.
Regarding eidetic or photographic memory, I encountered a situation reminiscent of this concept when preparing a paper for the IEEE conference. Although I had a dozen references, the paper was initially rejected due to suspected plagiarism. One paragraph contained sentences that closely resembled those from a reference paper—though they were not copied. I must have mentally retained the text during my reading, almost like taking a photograph in my mind. With my busy schedule, I didn't have time to revise it, but my supervisor, also a co-author, made the necessary corrections, leading to the paper's acceptance.

If you steal from one author, it is plagiarism; if you steal from many, it is research.
the quip was attributed to Wilson Mizner (1876–1933), American writer and entrepreneur
An alternative phrase: To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research. In recent times these words have been credited to the brilliantly out-of-kilter comedian Steven Wright
Are you familiar with the term eidetic memory or photographic memory? I think I do under certain circumstances.
Back when I was trying to publish a research paper to the IEEE conference, had a dozen references. The paper was initially turned down due to suspicious plagiarism, one paragraph included some duplicated sentences from one of the reference papers, almost like copy & paste which I didn't. But I had read it for sure. Must have taken a photograph in mind when I was reading. I was busy at that time, did not have time to fix it, my superviser knew my work, he was also the second author, so he fixed it & got accepted.
