Page was a big fan of Graham and guys like Bert Jansch. If anything he heard Taurus and it reminded him of the Graham song. Biggest difference between Taurus and and Stairway is the counterpoint high notes.
Taurus has the descending bass notes but with a static upper note. Page uses counterpoint ascending high notes against the descending bass notes.
But yeah, there's enough there to cause a debate but I agree with you. Much to do about nothing in the grand scheme of both songs.
