The reader really shouldn't have to figure it out; it's a bit intellectually dishonest to impose that burden on the reader--to the author's reputational benefit.
In general, Eliezer did a fairly good job of citing things that he actually was drawing from, ie he didn't plagiarize often. Much of LukeProg's post was simply providing references to similar or independently invented ideas in academia, which were not directly relevant and would have been somewhat inappropriate to put in the posts.
