I appreciate Prof Pybus' response, and have no objection to this use of the "Simplot" name; I was just providing context.

I named the method "Deep Simplot" in homage to the very popular Simplot program. I apologise to Prof Ray and his colleagues for (i) not seeking their permission to use this term and (ii) not citing the original Simplot paper. To avoid confusion I recommend that, in future, the method described by our paper is referred to as "deep divergence plotting". My thanks to Prof Ray for bringing this issue to my attention.

As the author of Simplot (Lole KS, 1999) I infer that the "Deep Simplot" method described was named after Simplot; it also shares characteristic display elements (as seen in figure 3b). Of course, the bootscanning approach that I implemented in Simplot was pioneered by Mika Salminen et al (Salminen MO, 1995, which is cited by Iles et al.).
