I watched a talk by her about this, and this post is missing half of the equation, which is really important:

Having a wrong abstraction means you end up with a class/function/module with a huge amount of configurations through boolean/enum parameters. It's not even clear that all combinations of configurations is even valid. This situation may be simplified by duplicating, and then eliminating code, thus creating more streamlined code for each use case. This may require fixing similar or cross-cutting bugs in multiple places (eg: JSON serialization is stupid, need to hack a workaround), but keeps the business logic changes simple. Maybe a bit more numerous, but the code is able to raise all the scenarios to consider.

Having no abstraction means you may have to change business logic consistently in multiple places, or you have to fix exactly the same misconception (aka a bug) in multiple cases. e.g. tax rate management in a multi-national context. This is also terrible, because you may fix an important problem in one place and forget other places with the same issue. Now you missed 12 potential bugs by fixing one. This can however allow you to discover a true abstraction. Maybe these 12 places should call just one place?

But for code evolving across a team understanding this tension, a bit of duplication while waiting for confirmation that these pieces of code break together and change together is better than just shoving the same 3 if-statements into a function to avoid "line duplication". Concept duplication is more important.
