To expand on it a little,

People are naturally averse to being redundant when they're conscious of it. If the work has been done, why repeat? As a writer, I dislike writing things that have been written: if I don't have something new to say, why say it?

(There are good reasons to repeat, e.g. practice, but that doesn't apply here.)
