When you say you find this staggering, do you mean you don't understand why many people do this?
I can speculate as to why people do this, but given my inability to escape the behaviour, I clearly don't understand it very well.
To a certain extent, I'm also surprised that it happens on Less Wrong, which I would credit with above-average reading comprehension skills. Answering the question you want to answer, rather than the question that was asked, is something I'd expect less of here.
That's fair.
