S.W.A.G.s about why people do things are silly, wild, guesses after all.

Another S.W.A.G. is that unfortunately most users do not think about assumptions. They copy what somebody else has done.  Copy techniques is also "the path of least resistance".
In my experience, in many academic departments the newest faculty member gets stuck with teaching stat and just follow a book.
