I didn't think we were talking about redundant behaviour, that's poor design, high entropic complexity and repeated structural complexity. That's a specific pattern, kind of an apropos of nothing to what I was talking about. What did you think I was saying? that we should repeat functionality ad-nausium as a sort of bad replacement for actual advancement?
