alt Hacker News> You expect every blog post to find the earliest relevant paper to cite
This should be expected out of everyone. If you don't respect the reader enough to do this, why should we read your posts?
I think papers should be retracted for not citing prior art, even if you weren't aware of it.
If the blog were about calculus, and stated that an elegant proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus could be found in such and such undergraduate textbook, would you be upset that the citation wasn't to either Newton's or Leibniz' work?
