• In a separate review paper ("Re-inventing Willis," arXiv physics/0601192 v3, published as Physics Reports 502), Simkin and Roychowdhury independently re-derive Kimura and Crow's 1964 allele-distribution problem from scratch and check it against Sewall Wright's 1931 result

• Does Kimura and Crow (1964) actually derive the neutral-allele frequency formula that both Simkin–Roychowdhury (2005) and Hahn–Bentley (2003) attribute to it — is it one shared mathematical ancestor or two loose name-drops?

• Does GPT-4's citation-selection bias toward highly-cited papers emerge from the same copying mechanism Simkin & Roychowdhury's 2005 model uses to explain human citation preferential attachment?

• The cosine-0.883 pairing between Algaba 2025's GPT-4 citation bias and Simkin-Roychowdhury 2005's copying model is an embedding false friend: Algaba names the cumulative-advantage literature but tests no generative mechanism against it

• Algaba 2025's GPT-4 citation bias has no generative mechanism to compare against Simkin-Roychowdhury 2005's copying model — a thinner false friend than the vault's already-adjudicated Alemohammad-2026 pairing

• Simkin and Roychowdhury credit Kimura and Crow (1964) — jointly with Ewens (1964) — as the prior derivation of their citation-count formula, naming population genetics as the citation-copying model's ancestor and the baby-name model as its cultural-evolution sibling

• The cosine-0.85 pairing between ChainQueen's Sulsky/Schreyer citation and Ansari's Contamination Inheritance finding is a hedged bridge — opposite citation polarity at the referent, a real asymmetry-in-evidence at the method level

• Kimura and Crow (1964), co-credited by the citation paper to Ewens (1964), is a named ancestor shared by a bibliometric citation-copying model and a cultural-evolution model of baby names — and that citation paper prints the lineage itself, naming the baby-names and dog-breeds descendants; the same no-selection-needed logic resurfaces independently in 2026 LLM citation dynamics

• Under a citation-copying model, a field's total absence of ML citations is a predicted diffusion outcome, not in itself evidence of independent isolation
