That article states correctly that "plagiarism" (i.e. not re-inventing the wheel) is a skill to be developed. What it doesn't say is that "plagiarism" should be one in a set of skills that are used to get a task done, all of which are useless or dangerous in the hands of one who has not mastered -- has not bothered to, or tried to, or been required to master -- the fundamental skills of problem solving.

In the situation I was addressing, wherein a student walks in here with an assignment and out of here with a "solution", having gained understanding of neither the question nor the answer, no skill is mastered other than a weaselly way to accelerate the Peter Principle. Therefore, I say again, responsible Monks should not facilitate this type of "plagiarism."
