Imo... you and John are making a rhetorical argument that is incorrect.
If you borrow from a piece of music that you had clear access to and was not a musical track that you were on, or showed any relation to anything that you did prior to the composition in question, and is clearly very similar, and a case can be made that your composition would not even exist had you not heard the borrowed one... Then I think most songwriters would agree that you should credit a co-writer.
You can talk about chord progressions and everything else but if that sound is uniquely and clearly identifiable as the same in the minds of the jurors, then the defense has a problem. If I was on the jury... The defense would have a problem.
