Doing things the wrong way is a good way of discovering new ways and ideas. If we were programmed to go always in the right direction we couldn't explore the landscape and we should be trapped in a local minima. Random behaviour is part of an intelligent design to evolve and mature. Humour is a way of jumping across island of rationality.
Firstly, welcome to Less Wrong! Be sure and introduce yourself on the welcome thread.
You raise a valid point, but the benefit you mention doesn't explain doing the wrong thing again and again, after enough evidence has accumulated; and it also doesn't explain that we do lots of things wrong in the exact same ways.
