Congratulations, anon.
The link between citing your sources, for why you’re thinking what you’re thinking, and not copy/pasting said sources, is in fact fairly smart. Almost intellectual.

I mean, plagiarism is about presenting others’ ideas as your own. You can write an essay made up of exclusively the ideas of others and present it as a grand, unified theory of [ ], or grab some tasty niblets from the works of others to spice up your arguments. The idea that you are meant to singularly offer novelty to the professor (‘s assistant) who has read your thoughts multiple times that day is silly.
