Conferences (Concern Fees?) - About hammers and nails

There is some concern about scientific conferences in general, and signal/image/video conferences in particular, as money making machines (hence the fees' concern anagram). Not only places where people meet, share, even copy or steal ideas... Remember the standard quote, attributed to Wilson Mizner (1876-1933): Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from two, it's research or maybe this quote has also been unfaithfully copied, since it often appear as If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research Steal or copy, two or many. Blame the the cut, correct and paste. Since Mizner's most famous plays is entitled The Deep Purple , shouldn't this sentence be refined along the lines of another solid rock band, Megadeth ( Captive honour , from Countdown to extinction ): And when you kill a man, you're a murderer ( plagiarist ) Kill many, and you're a conqueror ( researcher , then) Kill them all... Ooh... Oh you're a god! W
