Here (pdf alert) I have found a very simple but interesting paper that has confirmed an hypothesis of mine.
So far most respondents have gone completely off-subject here. In hardware systems redundancy is critical for safety. In software systems redundancy is bad because, as you and the paper suggest, redundancy makes for bugs. The principle for software is both normalization, DRY (do not repeat yourself) and ZIP (zero intolerance for plagiarism). As always, I enjoy your interesting posts. Regards Justin Johansson
