That was a one-line fallacy because I didn't happen to have full
reference materials on hand (they were at home and I can't post
from home yet).

One line is hardly "spouting off".

There are many thinks for which Apple has taken credit which they
did not invent.  Consider the "trashcan" lawsuit against Digital
Research for GEM -- the beginning of "lok and feel" lawsuits (OK,
Apple did invent those -- let's all thank Apple).

Invalidating one bad example (which has already been admitted to
be bad) hardly invalidates the major point.
