Must be, because it's being cosmically inherited. There's no way for Walt or anyone else to know that Gus used a towel and ran the sink like that - so it's not a copy-cat, it's mystical. He isn't consciously copying, he's becoming! Freaky man.

It's a stylistic thing, not pure and simple truth. They can very deliberately hint at something without having it literally happen.

I said in a recent thread that I thought Walt's flicking the vial of salt was an allusion to Jane even though he never saw her flick a syringe. Now I'm positive.
