I was following along nodding my head until I got to the last one:

	"Duplicate

	Duplicate anything that is only partially different
	to enable removing larger quantities of duplication."

Since I really strive to eliminate duplication in code that I'm
writing or refactoring, this one really gave me pause.

Can you elaborate a little more on this principle?  I *think* I know
what you're talking about, but the amount of fuzz buzzing around my
head when I think about this causes me to ask for clarification :-).
