Not necessarily — I've had the misfortune of working with someone who repeatedly, rather than subclass, duplicated the entire file.
Including the comments I'd added saying "TODO: de-duplicate this method".
That only got the project up to about 120 kloc before I'd had enough of that nonsense and left.
My understanding is that line count was mostly down to that one dev, as he didn't only ignore what I had to say when I was there, he also ignored the occasional contractor.
