Seems like a need for better software. Shouldn't be all that
hard to do.

Note that it is now almost impossible to anonymously author books.

Computers can match up writing styles well enough that, with only
a fairly small example, one can determine who wrote something.
And eBooks supply a good source to compare against.

Though for just detecting rogeting, just put Roget into the
comparing program. 

For the previous question, right behind has similar meaning to
immediately behind. I have no idea if it is related to right
and left, though.
