This is exact, but let's be positive here; sometimes it's a useful diagnostic tool, rather than a fault. If you find you used the word in an early draft, or even if you're at the keyboard and feel yourself being pulled actively towards the word, it's a safe sign that your thinking is still fuzzy on this point of plot or motivation or whatever. It's only reprehensible when it gets into print (as in your final example above, which is (a) shocking and (b) all too common).
But really I just wanted to say thanks for pointing me at the Turkey City Lexicon, which I hadn't come across before...
