This kind of comment always strikes me as the textual equivalent of the Youtube thumbnail with the big yellow characters and multiple people making an O face and pointing.

The article mentions who observed it in history first, Lewis Fry Richardson, and then links to an encyclopedia article about it which describes Mandelbrot. On top of that, Mandelbrot explicitly named his paper that because he is referencing Richardson.

"Practically plagiarizes the title" because it references the same original referent that Mandelbrot was referencing is really stretching it, mate. Honestly. It would be like calling a book review of Wuthering Heights by Bronte "practically plagiarizing" Fennell's 2026 movie by the same name.
