Who knows, he might be doing it unintentionally too. I am sure he wouldnt remember all of his tunes, cuz he tries to free his mind for the next album. In the process a tune might strike which already did , but he wouldnt know.
I think sometimes this is what happens when there are accusations that he lifts tunes. You can see that these lifts are hardly 2-3 secs, but he wouldnt know.
