Nonsense. All riffs, as a series of successive notes or chords, are related to another riff in some way - that is, you can find a mathematical relationship to link them together. Where's the line dividing coherent music from incoherent music? It all depends on why you think 'coherence' - or, the degree of similarity of a number of riffs - is a good thing. Personally, I think it's all art and there are many examples in art history showing that not everything has to be ordered in a traditional, classical way with parts following other parts in a logical, linear or holistic fashion.
