"There would seem to be a logical flaw here"

I was trying to be diplomatic, but since that didn't work, I'll alter my statement to read: "There is definitely a logical flaw here."

You simply can't think something sounds like something else when you have no idea what that something else sounds like in the first place. That's ridiculous. I'll drop the peppermint analogy and spell it out in black and white:

What if I said that I think that Rozsa's four-note motif from THE KILLERS sounds exactly like a composition written by a guy named Harry Cummings from Indiana, but I have never heard anything written by this Harry Cummings, nor has anyone else? Do you understand your logical flaw now?
