The term "detraction" has been used across a diverse range of literary works to denote not only the act of speaking ill of someone but also broader social criticisms and personal jealousy. For instance, in David Hume’s treatise [1], the word appears among various negative forces afflicting society, suggesting that detraction is a ubiquitous element of human affairs. In political and philosophical texts, such as those by Bacon [2, 3] and Jefferson [4], detraction is framed as a deliberate undermining of merit, one that paradoxically may enhance an individual's stature in the face of concerted attacks. Literary figures like Milton [5] and the Classical authors, including Homer [6] and Cicero [7, 8], employed the term to explore themes of envy and the corrosive effects of malicious speech. Even later commentators like Montaigne [9] acknowledged its enduring role in public discourse, underscoring its capacity both to injure reputations and to provoke reflection on the nature of criticism and human frailty.
