Parallel program solving

[penman@myremarq.com]

After lurking here a couple of years, and having seen
recent posts, email and other material, I have a general
question:  If two people are trying to patch the same
location in the same program for the same result, what are
the odds that they both WON'T come up with the same answer?
With as many bright minds as we have in this community, and
with the number of people willing to share their expertise,
why is it that some people are accusing others of
intellectual theft merely for having the same (or better?)
level of programming expertise?  Absolutely unbelievable.
Even as a non-programmer I can see where seveal people are
going to come up with the SAME result.  1+1=2.  My, what
a difficult concept to grasp.
