  I don’t know what that’s from, but the premise of “person thinks name tag is for their benefit” alone would be funny enough even if it was actually a name tag.

  Knowledge cannot be stollen. That concept is human fabrication. Knowledge is meant to be shared and once share is flow freely.

  Stealing knowledge in an academic context means using it without credit, aka plagiarism, much unlike the common definition for media.

  Attribution doesn’t restrict the flow of information, it simply gives credit where it is due. Refusing to attribute ones work, strictly speaking, limits the flow of authorial information.

  As stated by the article, if sharing work may be punished by a bad actor people will selfishly restrict the flow of useful information in response to protect themselves from plagiarism. Doing something that makes academics choose between further advancement of their field and their own self interest is the principle malfeasance.
