Good point, but I happened to (though might have not) think of it, just before I first posted my above comment. So I had changed the wording slightly to what it is (and made no edit after that). That is, I made it say:

KNF seems to be based on basically based on the same principles as Dr. Ingham talks about

rather than:

KNF seems to be based on Dr. Ingham's principles.

The former version implies that both could have come from the same source (of principles), while the latter implies that KNF came from her work, which I did not mean, from the start, though it may be so.

But from its Wikipedia page, KNF seems older than when she likely started her research, but not sure. In any case, the KNF inventor and she could have made their discoveriess independently, as sometimes happens.

And yes, I just noticed that the former version has a grammatical error, an extra "based on" after the word "basically". Missed that earlier.
