• A Bell-Labs/Multics world connected Thompson and Schell before 1974, but it predates Karger & Schell's report and neither primary names it as the credit channel

• Linnainmaa 1976's post-2010 citers are overwhelmingly generic automatic-differentiation / field-growth papers, with backprop-priority historiography a small, identifiable minority

• Ken Thompson's 1984 "Reflections on Trusting Trust" cited its source as "Unknown Air Force Document" and asked readers to identify it; Karger & Schell came forward, and he corrected the citation in a 1989 reprint — and the field credits Thompson anyway

• Merton's 1957 paper observes that priority disputes are typically waged by the disputants' partisans, third parties who sometimes act as arbitrators rather than advocates — as Lyell and Hooker did for Darwin and Wallace
