It is called attribution _line_, not attribution novel.

Wrong on all accounts.  There are theoretically sound, practically proven 
and therefore well-established rules of thumb – at least – in software 
development.  Ignoring them, or not being aware of them in the first place, 
leads to objectively bad code.  So as I said, it all boils down not only to 
knowledge but to knowledgability, which comes from and with experience.

This is another common fallacy: Argumentum ad hominem.

Not with javascript. Nonsense propagates like wildfire in this field.
