Not learning or not being inspired by copyrighted code is not a human function either though.

Has a human ever memorised verbatim the whole of github?
If someone somehow managed to do that and then happened to have accidentally copied someone's code, how believable would their argument be?

No, and humans who have read copyrighted code are often prevented from working on clean room implementations of similar projects for this exact reason, so that those humans don't accidentally include something they learned from existing code.
Developers that worked on Windows internals are barred from working on WINE or ReactOS for this exact reason.
