I really must protest.
This is just preposterous. Two sentences have been pulled out of two different books. Ayres book is 304 pages, Obama’s is 464.
That two sentences pulled from these two books have similar sentence structure means literally nothing. It demonstrates only that they are both writing in English.
The rest of the linked article is a ridiculous pyramid of speculation piled on speculation in which yawning logical chasms are effortlessly leaped in a single paranoid bound.
That an author had trouble completing a book on time and then finally did complete it - gee, that never happens unless a vile reptilian conspiracy is afoot!
Come on people.
We agree. It is preposterous to jump to conclusions based on things plucked out of context. So you might want to read my post again. I believe you overlooked the part where I agreed with you, noting that these were, after all, just 2 sentences, and that nothing can be concluded from it. I further allowed as to how a similarity in rhythm or style can occur innocently. You can see no similarity in style, I do. I concluded nothing of that. You did.
