IMO, copy-paste reuse is the worst offense that a programmer can

I agree that it's bad news.
But, I think the worst offense is this:
try {

} catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}

How lucky you've been. Have you never seen:
try {
...
} catch(Throwable t) {
// ignore
}
At least there was a comment in there :-). I've seen a shocking number of
these: catch(Throwable t) {} from programmers that "knew it wouldn't
matter".
