Sounds like someone wants to pass slop off as their own work product.
If they aren't heavily editing, the text will be full of tells anyway. I don't think anyone is passing slop off as their own for long. They either use it a little bit and edit it enough to obliterate any markers and tells (which is fine, imo), or they are going to be discovered.
