Setting the record straight
#62
Shlama Christina,

Nice try, but no cigar. Essay rater will almost always find a phrase here and there identical to another text. What it does is it scores on plagiarism
from 0 to 100%. Then you need to see where the text is that it says was plagiarized, which is given as a web address. Murdock's certainly is posted on a web site; so is Etheridge; so is some of mine, on my web site, and on Lulu.com
Andrew's was located at AramaicPeshitta.com, only it pointed to Murdock's and Younan's files, and it did so for every one of over 60 chapters, with a high plagiarism score for every one, and a zero overall score, due to the high plagiarism score. Those stats are only available in the full version of Essay Rater.

You are shooting a 30 odd six without a scope from the hip.

Andrew does not deny that he copied Murdock and Younan's files (prepared by Larry Sheets). He just says it was not plagiarism. If you can show me in his book, anywhere, that he claims to have copied Murdock and Younan for his translation, I will retract the charge. "Weaving both sources" together "in some cases" does not cut it. "Comparing them" does not work, either. He copied them wholesale, and revised selected names and titles, and modernized the thee's and thou's in Murdock, essentially leaving 90-95% intact, verbatim. That is plagiarism, because he did not give proper credit to his sources; he implies by his refusal to accredit them in his book, that he actually translated the NT himself and consulted the others in the process. That is dishonest.

We can talk about "MARI means Murdock,Andrew,Roth and Younan", all day long, but that is not explained in his book; certainly not up front in the intro.
He may have stated that here, but he has not published his posts in the book, so that will not suffice.

Sorry this has caused so much pain, but it is the truth.

I bear no ill will to Andrew or anyone else, only a desire for forthrightness,truth, honesty and peace, so help me God.

Dave
