This is a strange article:
  • It isn't referencing some scientific paper; the article is the research.
  • It provides only trivial data and the analysis is surface-level at best ("favour/favourable" is a common spelling outside America).
  • All the quotes are from the people who work at the website, and who are self-congratulatory that they noticed similarities between two whitepapers ("In this paper, we..." is present in most whitepapers).
I suppose it's good to know about this article, since some know-nothings will blindly repeat the claims therein. So, I do appreciate it being posted.

regardless of who wrote what, i do think the focus on privacy that monero has is more aligned with the cypherpunk ideals and philosophy expressed by satoshi and others on the cypherpunk mailing list

By "some know-nothings," I was referring to journalists, typical Reddit users, and crypto influencers.
