Thanks - I fixed this mistake. I originally was "solving" the problem by checking if the arg passed was a list of lists or a list of strings but I thought I'd get flamed even more for being a terrible developer with that solution.

When you go read proper definitions of DRY they have lots of nuance that speak to many of my criticisms. But the reality is most developers are not encoding that nuance and using it as a fairly blunt instrument. I can't really prove it but at least some people in the comments seem to agree. So I guess I could say "DRY is misunderstood" - but if it's so easily misunderstood then maybe that's a shortcoming in and of itself?
