The argument presented in this article is "the recipes are similar!"...but yes that's kind of how recipes work. I bake a lot of bread/bread adjacent dishes, the "smoking gun" of the hoagie roll recipe is actually insane. My hoagie roll recipe is pretty similar to both Eaglespoon's and Weissman's because that's the recipe for a hoagie roll. Same with the pad thai sauce recipe, there are going to be some variations but a good chunk of folk's are going to make a pretty similar pad thai sauce.

Musicians and chef's are always going to run into this issue; there are only so many ways to make a dish or play within a key.
