I imagine that the consequences of such a bite would be to stimulate Micheal Crichton's lawyers to spasms of rage and anger, forcing involuntary cries of 'Plagerism' and 'Lawsuit!' to their lips. Similar reactions may occur in Steven Spielberg's lawyers, but to a much lesser degree. Further clues to this behavior can be detected in last year's NY Time's Best Seller List and Steven Speilbeg's whereabouts during Hurricane Andrew.
