It clearly isn't plagiarism. The 'accusation' from utherpendragon is surely a bit of self-deprecating humour after being being caught red handed cutting and pasting word for word without citing it or providing a link.
I didn't accuse anybody of plagiarism.

It's a reasonable question, particularly since I'm a stickler for referencing other people's work and ideas. By way of explanation, for what it's worth, a friend put the idea to me when we discussed the situation in a pub. Since you pointed the article out to me, I've asked her and she said she did indeed read it on the Guardian. Take from that what you will.
