They've both been accused of failing to give due credit to other
people's work, if not outright plagiarism.

"They've both been accused of failing to give due credit to other

   Heh! Indeed. 

   I like the Stephen Wolfram scrapbook/timeline on his website,
parading his endless list of mighty accomplishments. I'm particularly
fond of the one that starts out with, "1984: Feynman tries to disprove
that Wolfram is wrong...", and ends up with, "OK, I give up...".

Beyond the Ego issues (which clearly BOTH had!), there is actually
something meaninful. Really meaningful! (a clue is the movie What the
&$%$$&% do you know?). It deals with something VERY, VERY
FUNDAMENTAL...

All that "What The Bleep" deals with is snakeoil.
