While you may be correct, if you're on a dogmatic team, work with dogmatic people, or are a part of a dogmatic company, you probably need to avoid duplication. This is because duplicate code is an easy thing for a reviewer to nitpick and reviewing code can sometimes be more about showing off and less about ensuring code quality.
