Knock off sounds a little less harsh than rip off. I don't think Veicht thinks Moore was trying to decieve his readers. Maybe he did mean rip off, but his definition of it is different than mine.

Rip off is a synonym of Knock Off, so when Veitch calls it a knock off he might as well be calling it a rip off or any of the other synonyms posted above.
