When lots of people who clearly aren't complete idiots tell you
something happens to them, it's probably best just to accept that it
does, because arguing that you can't possibly see how it could possibly
happen to them is only going to make you look churlish.

It happens to Kevin, it happens to me, it happens to lots of other
people, which is why the experts in the field have set the default they
have. They didn't make it up out of thin air.
