You'd have to be suspected of all out plagiarism, for that ever to be investigated.

There are different kinds of Plagiarism my friend such as Self Plagiarism.
I'll explain what that is.
Self-plagiarism is the reuse of significant, identical, or nearly identical portions of one’s own work without acknowledging that one is doing so or without citing the original work. Typically, high public-interest texts are not a subject of self-plagiarism; however, the authors should not violate copyright where applicable. "Public-interest texts" include such material as social, professional, and cultural opinions usually published in newspapers and magazines.
In academic fields, self-plagiarism is a problem when an author reuses portions of his or her own published and copyrighted work in subsequent publications, but without attributing the previous publication.[4] Identifying self-plagiarism is often difficult because of legal issues regarding fair use.[5] Some professional organizations like the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) have created policies that deal specifically with self-plagiarism.[6] As compared to plagiarism, self-plagiarism is not yet very well-regulated. Some universities and editorial boards chose to not regulate it at all; those consider the term self-plagiarism oxymoronic since a person cannot be accused of stealing from himself.
For authors wishing to avoid potential issues when authoring new papers, the authors are strongly encouraged to follow these "best practices":
1. Provide full disclosure — mention in the introduction that the new or derivative work incorporates texts previously published.
2. Ensure there is no violation of copyright.
3. Cite the old works in the references section of the new work.

Even then, how would you prove it? I mean three consecutive words...thats like a needle in a haystack, que no? Its ridiculous.
i feel your conclusion that its no big deal is based on irrelevancy. that irrelevancy being the connection between overly strict rules at a university and the act of deliberately stealing someone's intellectual property/passing it off as one's own)

But you could still reword or paraphrase the person's work, and it still says the same thing/the message is still there, but because of a technicality you can dodge the law.
