sorry about the confusion. Sometimes my English still fails me, there's just one word for both meaning in german, so I didn't think to differ.
As I argued with Aycheb, I do think some of Joss and Moore's motives might overlap just as well as the motifs do. His style and method is different but that doesn't make them impossible to compare.
I don't think anyone argued that Joss as to do it exactly like Moore to do it good. But the comparison with an author who brought similar ideas to an interesting conclusio, helps putting the finger on the sore spots. I resent the argument that it can't be done better and I do think citing books that did a similar thing better is a valid way to dispell it.
