The redundancy is not a property of language it's a property of communication. This just speaks to the pseudoscientific nature of usage based linguistics; it's as if physicists claimed that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones because a piece of paper will fall slower than a brick. You can't just look at the most frequent cases, you need to look at the actual edge cases to understand a phenomenon.
