Tools like Turnitin flagging page numbers and headings as plagiarism shows the limit of automated checks. A score can point out something worth reviewing, but it can’t replace human judgment.
In academic work, some similarity is normal and usually allowed, often around 10–15%, mostly from citations and standard terms. An extremely low score, such as 1%, can sometimes raise the opposite issue that the work lacks proper references and may be viewed as unsubstantiated.
