I think the big differentiating factor will probably be that "jiggle programmers" don't really know what they're copying or why something works. I'd hope senior programmers do.

We all jiggle a bit as we rarely have time to work through APIs and their dependencies down to the sand used to make the chips.

Though I'd agree that no engineers should be copying code without understanding its intent and interfaces.
