Simplifies to: Code is never reused (99.99% probability) > Let's not overthink it [... ==> ...] code lives forever. Simplifies to: Reused code is always underwhelming (99.99% probability) Solution? This is the optimum! Tuning 0.01% of situations isn't a good use of time. Stop worrying and learn to love the spaghetti!

If these are independent, the probability that code is reused and not underwhelming is 0.000001%. Sounds about right.
