I have no idea.  But it would likely be serendipity.

IE if I do a lot of study to decide to include a particular line, and you
do a lot of study to include the same line, that is ok.  That happens in engine
development (hashing, evaluation ideas, etc.)  But if I do a lot of study to
decide to include a particular line, and then give that to you, my effort is
now spread across two engines, through the book.  that is the point...
