That was probably a bit harsh of me. I have no patience at all explaining things twice. Oops.

Actually, you have only described it (twice). The why this happens is an unknown – my question was mostly rhetorical, for discussion purposes.
Why is the bias towards recognition (when we hear it), rather than towards recognizing when we don’t hear the word soon after.
(I probably should have posted this in SMP.)
