Do you have any reason to disagree with the final sentence:

"Andreas has claimed that the text that is identical in his Phd to uncited sources is just composed of “common phrases”, this is highly unlikely to be the case since the indentical text is usually more than 9 consecutive words and is only found in one other earlier source from which there are usually multiple 9+ consecutive-word identical phrases in his Phd."

Do you have evidence that it's actually "relatively common" that sentences with many, many more than 9 words are identical?

If you take something as ordinary as “behavior tree”, 9+ consecutive words don’t surprise me. Many definitions across literature often look very alike.

How else would you write this? To be honest, I’d have written it exactly this way too. I’m sure many other researchers would write it this way too.

I mean this is such a weak example. If there were 9+ consecutive words matching each other in more meatier parts of the paper, then I would be very suspicious.

But the examples cited are about trivial sentences describing ordinary stuff where two people might describe the same thing in exactly the same way because there are only very few ways to describe them.
