When a colleague told my father that "duplication is always bad" he grabbed a random memo from that colleague's desk and said "I bet there's at least 3 copies of this piece of paper in this building". That drove the point home alright.

This is not the riposte you might think it is. Duplication serves a different purpose in print; it lets you avoid having to pass the memo around.
