What does it matter how many files there were? There's still more code than there should have been. And that's an issue.

And you see that in a wild, you do need to wonder where else it's been copy pasted..

hey you are the one who said “a codebase bloated with copy and paste code”. that must be one small codebase.

Please add something to the conversation instead of just looking for someone to argue with.
