I will just say that some of those are not redundancies. . . for instance temper and tantrum are mutually exclusive and there is such thing as an inner and an outer core.

I have in my WIP this Babel-like ministry called Beaurocratic Bureau of Bureacracy that runs all the departments of the government. Most of the titles, departments, etc. are redundancies like: Chief Chairman Counsellor, Board of the Congreggated Council, Monetary Teasurer & Accountant and of course: Report of the Inform of the Analysis of the Investigation (my MC's job was checking the exclamation points from these)

...an inner and an outer core.

Core - the central, innermost, or most essential part of anything. (It. mine)

Of course, you can make that argument about anything - that's the wonderful thing about the English language. You can divide, subdivide, subsection and section off - you can fold, spindle and mutilate it, far beyond the bounds of logic, and in doing so, ofttimes emerge with something even more evocative and informative than clear logic would suggest. After all, how many of us have NOT found themselves faced with an 'eloquent silence'...?
