Another aspect (which I seem to remember Molly touching on a good few 
months ago) is the fact that there's still a lot of very out of date 
material out there ("making a web page in 5 minutes for dummies") that 
even "young ones" stumble across...l33t tr1x and h4x to get cool effects 
in markup, which they are then reluctant to drop in favour of modern 
best practices.
