Because I read the navbar on most pages, and only skim the content generally (until I get to where I wanted to be). In trying to get around a large site (e.g. W3C, Universities, but many others too) I almost invariably find myself trying to understand the person who created the navigation system, or people who made the systems...

Could you explain why you have this opinion? I find navigation bar text is the least important text on pages I visit, I'm visiting pages for content, I'm not visiting pages so as to find other pages through navbar links "Home" "stuff" aren't links I click on. Links within the content and links provided by search techniques are the links I find much more important - It's only normally personal pages where I use the navigation bar text links - and only then because it gives me a good insight into what I'm on the page for (to get a better understanding of the person.)
