How silly it was for Swanson to actually think that no one would ever catch this. This reminds me of last fall when a MBA student turned in a paper to me in which he had plagiarized 1/3 of his formal paper with a copy and paste from a website. He didn't think he should have been penalized because it was just an "honest" mistake. He and Swanson seem to have a lot in common. What typical spin for him to deem his plagiarism as “inadvertent”.

Managers taking credit for the work of those that report to them, including suggestions and novel ideas for improving the business. As the old saying goes, "success has a thousand fathers, failure is an orphan". Extends down the corporate ladder too.
