I didn't realise that Scholz also wrote the story about the guy who
submits a word-for-word copy of "The Nine Billion Names of God" for
publication, and then tries to convince the publisher that he wrote
it independently, without having ever seen the Clarke story.

That, too, was a rather neat idea.

Yes, it was. Unfortunately, it was Jorge Luis Borges's idea, as
masterfully expressed in his famous story "Pierre Menard, Author of the
Quixote". If Scholz wrote the story you describe, it could most
charitably be called an homage to Borges.
