True—“harm reduction” is a tactic that helps with negligence or mistake, and less so with true adversarial situations. It’s worth remembering that improvements are improvements, even if only for some subset of infractions.
I don’t particularly worry about plagiarism very often—I’m not writing formal papers, but most of my internal documents benefit from a references appendix (or inline) for where data came from. I’d enjoy a plugin that does “referenceable copy/paste”, which includes the URL (or document title, or, for some things, a biblio-formatted source).
