You are making a serious accusation, and one that is apparently largely unfounded. That is a lot worse than calling someone a nasty name.
You have provided evidence, most people here have looked at it and said it does not line up perfectly and there is not enough area overlapping to make a determination of tracing. You a disregarding multiple opinions by other artists who don't have a dog in this fight.
Your response is just yelling at us about how well they line up, when we don't see it. That's not exactly a constructive dialogue you got going, coupled with the nasty passive-aggressive comments you've mad on FA.
Artists do go for areas where they have problems, but I have never seen an artist where they need the most help on waist and hip as they are simple, especially in the manner in which they're drawn here. While there will be some differences stylistically, they are far more consistent in this type of art then they are in say, Beauty and the Beast where the character have wildly different proportions and body type. When doing a similar body type in a similar style (what's happening here) there will be a fair amount of overlap, even when in a different pose, let alone a similar one.
