What's funny is that DRY was first popularised in the Pragmatic Programmer[0] book, and "coincidental" duplication is explicitly addressed right there on page 34, "not all code duplication is knowledge duplication... the code is the same but the knowledge is different... that's a coincidence, not a duplication."
