Rational,

It is a logical fallacy to assume that because A is similar to B, therefore A is derived from B.

There are at least 3 other equally likely possibilities (absent additional evidence of course). It could be that B is derived from A; it could be that the similarity is a coincidence/superficial; or it could be that both are derived from the same source.
