Okay, so, maybe correct me if I'm wrong or scold me if I didn't read far enough but that first example of plagiarism, why didn't the author just cite the work? They were describing a basic behaviour tree (a decision tree, I think) and had a source, then didn't cite it. Why wouldn't they cite it?

Perhaps because his text was almost ad verbatim the same as the source he didn't cite. There are many more egregious segments than that which you can easily find in his vroniplag page.
