  I feel that the book should be corrected, but on in that it must be made clear that the ideas were not hers as her knowledge in the subject is not extensive enough for purely self made literature. This is not serious, as her mistake was purely accidental. Preferably, I would like to know the situation of the individuals involved and the sources that Ms.Goodall got her information from. To elaborate on my first sentence, all places where the mistakes were made should be corrected, with no need for real punishment, except where the involved parties feel some taking of intellectual property has occurred.
   In extension, the cases mentioned in the article were not serious moments of plagiarism. If I felt they were purposeful I would feel differently, but some would be very difficult to paraphrase. These cases of plagiarism are complicated, sometimes because of errors on the part of the author, others in the blurs between ownership of a specific piece of knowledge. Her mistakes in citation, while sometimes severe do not warrant a witch hunt.
