Someone may pick up on your Plagiarism and take great pleasure in embarrassing you or worse sueing you for breach of copyright!

One idea is to gather the relevant papers from other authors, reference them in your article, weigh up the arguements for or against a point of contention and draw your own conclusions.
I couldn't have written that response any better,and I'd agree 100%.

In your line of business Roger,credibility and honesty is everything,being accused rightly or wrongly of plagiarism (putting the legal aspects to one side) will have a negative aspect on your credentials,and will cause you unnecessary grief.

I know a very good proofreader,so get banging on the keyboard,the wife will have to wait
