By this logic, Sprint is now in a pickle.

Who is to say that Sprint won't get acquired by AT&T?

It says a great deal about our work that we use the same word for a brilliant or a horribly cheesy solution. When we cook one up we’re not always 100% sure which kind it is. But as long as it has the right sort of wrongness, that’s a promising sign. It’s odd that people think of programming as precise and methodical. Computers are precise and methodical. Hacking is something you do with a gleeful laugh.

Perhaps they're just independent observations of real phenomena?

If the phenomena are real, then it becomes very likely more than one author will comment.
