I don't think think sort of imitation bodes well anymore but it's interesting how certain cases of imitation brought about Plagiarism law.


I understand the idiom, but I often wonder why anyone would accept imitation when, I'm guessing, the quirkiness of reality might be far better???

Very TRUE and an INTERESTING observation! But I think the idiom mainly speaks to being so enamored of someone you want to imitate them. I could be wrong, I dunno!
