Most artists have certain degree of BPD. It is not uncommon, as you may already know.
The problem with the whole discussion about the choice of chorus etc.. is not taking into consideration how an artist works.
I am not a musician, but I can relate to a creative mind. I have always wondered if IR writes music the way a poet writes a poem. In other words, a poem (many times fully formed) comes to poet- he or she doesn't set out to build a poem by placing lines that work and that don't. What I am trying to say is, it is driven by intuition and not by choice or logic. That may also explain inconsistencies in his work.
Gokul.
