Vincent has stolen ideas from _many_ people.  He didn't invent null-move
nor parallel search nor (plug in your favorite idea here).  Of course _all_
of us use ideas developed by others.  That's part of development.

The thing _most_ of us do not do is continually put down everyone else's
ideas as "rude" "primitif" "laughable" and so forth...

All the time "stealing ideas right and left"...
