Design is hard on the eyes due to black/white contrast with info boxes
I see your point, but also suspect that many, if not most, new users come here in a full panic about a problem more pressing than those extra bars, and probably aren't going to run away.

How to / should I flag exact copy answers
@Iain - I have experienced the same inconsistent handling. Although the "new" answer is never an exact "copy and paste" if the predicate answer, the one's I flag never have any actual content beyond the cross-referenced first answer. Often, they are just abbreviated versions. Out of some frustration, I have just started ignoring them rather than bothering to flag, although IMHO they tend to clutter the site and make the answer "set" less clear.

Is it okay to tell users to RTFM?
Agree with the middle ground. As systems get more complex, there will often be cases where one is required to deal with something new. That said, documentation is often poor and difficult to use. Helping someone (even someone who may not appear to have done enough homework) while also pointing to the correct documentation not only solves the immediate problem, but also helps that person and others who follow to better use that documentation.
