The example is incorrect just on the first point alone: aversions of that trope are not something that should be listed.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Ok, then. How should I change it though to not make it Averted?
Also: going to remove two other examples I seen for "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny/Newspaper Comics.
So, what, the claim is that David Bowie's music is sometimes claimed to be unoriginal because its imitators are better known? I mean, I'd like to see a citation on that claim, but if true, it would be a straight example. "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny is an audience reaction and cannot be "played with".
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

This one:
"Averted by David Bowie. Part of it is that he changed both his sound and his visual approach to performances of same so often that by the time a given approach was being imitated, he'd usually already moved on. Moreover, way too many of the artists he's influenced tend to copy his flash but not his substance — not to mention lack the unique charisma and strong Creator Thumbprint that ground his body of work. His 1980 album Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) was hyped with the Tagline "Often copied — never equalled" for this reason."
First, its an Aversion, which I feel is really unnecessary for this trope. Second, though Bowie himself might not have suffered this effect, it could be argued that all his different personas with their different styles did. And just because they only copied his flash and not his substance does not mean that persona would not fall into this trope. In fact, flash-only imitations seem to be implied for this trope.
