You're reading into it 100% wrong and so are the other people who believe this.
-> Global navigation (headers, footers, etc.) make for consistent usability. They are likely part of your page template, whether you have 10, or 100,000+ pages.
It's the elements that you decide to include as part of the template which become boiler plate and refer to large blocks of text.

For example, webmasters will sometimes write a block of text to include in the bottom of their home page with lots of beefy keywords, and on-page relevant language. Then they will get lazy and instead of having/writing a unique block of text on interior pages, they will just re-use the same block, perhaps on thousands, or all pages, making a part of the global template.

-> Adam says remove this and just a have a link to a single page with all of this text.

-> Adam's comment on the JavaScript menu was an assumption that the JavaScript menu didn't work and it should be fixedy the person who created it!
