I've found early on that arguing with no real facts to help support it is pointlessly and quickly lost to the opponent.
And trust me, I know you're consolidating ideas. That's the whole point. Plagiarism is stealing an entire idea from one source. Research is stealing several concepts from lots of sources and combining it into a new whole, a different take (possibly) on the subject. I'm not giving you too much credit because from what I've read, you give them credit.
As far as my own disagreements, I've got issues with that. It's another self esteem thing that I shan't get into here. :) Just believe that you wouldn't be the only person I'd avoid disagreeing with.
