Those are clearly complimentary and thus this isn’t theft. A social faux pas perhaps but that’s all.

Scifi writer fear: readers who like to do more math than you do

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Writer: Okay so this seems like an appropriate size for this room, given its function and the drama needed for the scene...

Readers: Perfect! we were told 3 chapters back that this room is 'the average room size for a spaceship of this type', meaning that we can use this size information to back-calculate the volume of the spaceship, adjust for the stated 0.9atm air pressure... and then looking at the required air cycling rate for humans... we can see that the air purification system briefly described in chapter 6 when they were replacing air filters would be impossible for this spaceship!

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Tumblr ask 6 months later: It was really clever how you used the size of the rooms and the air filter system to hint that the ceilings of all the rooms were very very low and thus let the audience deduce that humans in the future are much shorter than humans today! That's a great little nod to the 'humans have gotten taller over time' thing that people like to say, and really subtle, since people who hadn't done the math on the room volume would never see it!

Writer: ... Yes. That was... very clever... of me... to do.

Showing numbers to sci-fi readers is a little like making the let's-play pose at an excitable terrier of unidentified provenance.
