If the problem is large enough, I do submit that there are multiple (even many) ways of solving it.

I will also say that there’s problems where that is not the case. For example, we were told to write simulators for scheduling schemes (RR, MLFQ). Other than using different data structures (even that’s a bit of a stretch) not sure how much variance there will be.

Using the right tool for the right job is important.

Just above your post another author posted/cited results of a system that “never produced false positives”.

I think that cited number another author shared is probably correct but presumably, the tool is used in cases where problems are big enough to warrant it.

The problems we had were way way simpler than anything deserving an acronym. You'd think there was only one way to do it and yet it was not hard to distinguish plagiarism.

Do you happen to have a few examples? I’m super curious! How many students were taking the course?
