I'll leave the programming evidence to those that know best. However, I'm a bit
sceptical about similarity of filenames and symbol names. A thorough search of
available engines would probably reveal a good deal of common "inspiration",
which probably vanishes over time.

As for the meeting, I would probably refuse if given the same choice. Especially
if the allogation were as flimsical as I think it appears to be. It doesn't say
anything whatsoever of guilt.

But I'll grant you scepticism nonetheless :-).

Discussing a non-entity passes the time as well I suppose :-).
