If I gave the impression that I thought that the authors had been deliberately copying from their earlier works, I apologize. I had not meant to ascribe any sort of intentionality to the authors' actions, merely to point out the results thereof.
No need, Lynn. I know that authors
do intentionally recycle their own material now and then. And there's nothing wrong with that.
No, I just think that what you and Sayo are describing are two different things. There's the intentional recycling and the unintentional, subconscious reuse of material that we don't even notice we're doing.
