Repetition is bad for a writer as it creates hesitation to the reader, for an average reader repetition will be bordem and will preferably discontinue to read.

Repetition is good for presentation, as it will help the audience to be more thorough with main points in the absence of hand outs.

Repetition per se is neither good nor bad.  If you are beating around the bush due to obscure direction in writing, you are lost and you leave the reader indignant; but if you repeat a certain point to ensure it does not get overlooked, then, you are doing your readers a valued service.

Therefore, a good sense on when to use them is imperative.
