Indeed, most complaints against "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) are really arguments against a strawman. Of course you can go wrong, it's like everything else it's about balance... reducing the DRY guideline to a caricature to get rid of it won't help.

Maybe a bit extreme as an example, but highlights quite well why you want to limit logic in tests as much as possible.
