Summary

This quote humorously highlights the fine line between plagiarism and proper research. It suggests that when someone takes one person's ideas without giving credit, it is considered intellectual theft. However, if ideas are borrowed from multiple sources, it can be viewed as legitimate research, wherein one collects insights from various authors or experts through proper acknowledgment. The quote implies that extensive research involving multiple sources is a more acceptable and ethical practice than simply copying from a single individual.
