Thoughts on Bioshock Infinite

[Ghieri]

Plotwise it is explained in a Voxophone recording which displays
Jeremiah Fink mentioning a brilliant biologist he's observing through a
Tear. This is a nod to either Dr. Yi Suchong or Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum,
which in turn would imply that Fink may have drawn inspiration from
their work on Plasmids to manufacture his Vigors.

I must have missed that, or I forgot about it.

Though, in the first two games, you actually know the background of plasmids that took a sizable portion of Bioshock to explain. In Bioshock infinite, you just get "We copied bioshock" as the actual, in game explanation? That's not a very strong thread.

You could argue that it would be redundant to create a new explanation, but I think necessary in order to make Columbia stand on it's own feet, and not just be a cheap rip off of Rapture.
