Well, I sometimes refer to them, but it'll be in a real odd fashion, like I might use odd arpeggios or something.

I tend to stick to the major side and to sound consonant, and the accidentals are truly accidentals, that aren't noticed until after doing tonality checks.

It was actually a trademark of Chuck Schuldiner to add in odd accidentals to add intensity. He does it a lot on 'Human' actually.
