It's true that I don't know for sure, but I haven't seen any citations, or verbal references, or any similarities in the APIs that would indicate familiarity with the relevant research I had in mind.

Also, a lot of research in this field is done through working proof-of-concept systems, so there is no point in implying that those designs don't work "in practice".
