I kinda feel like there should be a note on here to the effect of copying and pasting from time to time not being bad in and of itself (for example if a character doesn't move much in a scene then you might get away with copying the body pose and redrawing just the face for each panel), and that there's nothing wrong with shortcuts so long as they don't hurt the overall quality of the final product. It's just when copying and pasting is overused that it starts to become an issue. As the tone of the article itself is a bit sarcastic it gives the impression that doing this to any extent at all is inherently bad.
