Because you did. I came to the comments wondering if this was a shameless ripoff of the original or a re-post from the same author.
If it's similar to another article, I'd love to see it. I wrote this over the last two days using only the sources noted at the bottom of the post.
I think the problem is your post reads like it's a discovery of your own, jsfuck and previous artwork are only hinted at the end.
The style makes it easier to see how the approach works, and wouldn't say it implies the OP came up with the technique.
It seems that explanatory articles of this sort often use this style, as it is a great way to get the idea across.
