  • Well then, that is very interesting and certainly an eyebrow-raising hook. At 2946 characters it is long enough. Close paraphrasing does not seem to be an issue (the WMFLabs tool throws up a Wikipedia mirror of Alexion Pharmaceuticals as a false positive), and the hook's content is cited in both of its original locations.
