I agree, I said  "in practice".   Look how many disputes are over single words or phrases.   If  you use exacly the same words, then it isn't a paraphrase, if you use different words, it is a paraphrase, but it is banned by NOR, unless a cite can be provided where someone else has used those very same words in subject at hand.
