Absolutely not!
They make the job of checking up on the bona fides of their
documentation so much easier.

True.
But the probability of the above set of sequences occurring randomly
is 0.0000 ...  to more 0's than you'd care to count.

>> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 "slight voltage shift"

English OK BUT would ~ never be put that way.

>> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 "cause big current change" and

Same.

>> =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 "(burn out will happen)"

Quaint.

Meanings in all cases are clear enough. Language is very unusual. All
3 in close sequence "would not happen". Especially so in datasheets
where they have no meaning at all, as is the case in some of them.

Anything that I could write in Chinese is certain to plagiarise nothing :-)

I have no interest in ownership of the text per se. It's a convenient
marker for other activity.
The point was not really who "owned" the text but that there was
utterly vast cut and pasting of text amongst quite unrelated
datasheets.
ANY datasheet that contains that sequence merits careful examination.
Indeed, the one I first found it in is clearly questionable
technically in its own right.
