Then again, sometimes it's even harder to take the "DRY nothing" out of them once they decide "DRY everything" was wrong but misunderstand why.

I mean, while the explanation above is nice, it's fairly easy for a junior to speed read through it as "DRY is a luxury [...] You should repeat yourself [...]" -ignoring all the parts that sound too complicated or nuanced- and quickly jump to the completely opposite conclusion.

The way I see it, business logic needs this approach, but all API boundaries must be and remain DRY from the get-go. Interface definitions must not define behaviour; they are glue.
