   This is Rufo's strongest example of plagiarism, which is that she describes a dataset and its variables in the same way as someone on her dissertation committee.
   This is not plagiarism! Set aside that there is no accusation of substantive stealing of ideas. There are simply only so many ways you can describe a dataset’s name and variables. If this is your standard of plagiarism, then everyone using widely available datasets is a plagiarist.
