---- Why is a Content Management System bad for SEO?

What about dupe content issues? Would this be a factor with the more common systems?

Say for example, your site is about "game-x" and you use "cms y". Isn't it more likely that your site will be seen as a near duplicate to another site about "game-x" running on "cms y"? Particularly if the content on some of your pages is the same (in this case cheat codes, data feeds etc)?

It seems that if your site is already 20% similar (because of the interface/cms) to about 5000 other sites before you've even added a word of your own - aren't you starting at a disadvantage?

Just curious what the experts think.
