Seriously, in academic code you can usually find truly horrific things, and just copying the body of a function is one of the least abhorrent things.
Dec 11, 2014 at 8:57 comment added user2357112 "whereas you might copy someone's code to use it, when you cite a theorem you don't need to copy out the proof" - and when you call someone else's function, you don't need to copy the source. If you're copying the source, that's a bad sign.
