I don't remember. Why does that matter? To make an analogy, you're just getting distracted by the equivalent of little melodic figures and ornaments and missing the shared underlying harmonic progression common to all of them.
Well, isn't what you suggest akin to saying the British invented the baseball, because cricket preceded the game Abner Doubleday claimed to have invented? While one might argue there are some similarities between the two, they are in no way the same, I think. Baseball was the creation of an American, and never was the national pastime of Great Britian. Don't you agree? Or do you think Baseball was actually a British invention, and baseball is too similar to cricket to be reasonably considered as a different sport?
