Should always challenge the lecturers when they do things like that. Having a talk about an essay is very different to copying from one another. The lecturer must have hard proof of plageriased material and present it when asked. Just likeness of ideas is not enough to get a warning. Lecturer's are people, they make mistakes too. I don't find it hard to imagine their face going red as well after a good challenge.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
