I was just highlighting a limitation of such software. One can't automatically conclude that the material has been plagiarised just because the software identifies a high hit rate. One also needs to look at what those hits are and decide whether they fall into the plagiarism or legitimate referencing categories; I doubt software could do that with an acceptable degree of reliability.
