So when i find someting like you did, I really don’t give it much thought. I do not suspect that a “mistake” was made. Rather, a calculated misdirection was employed. After all, its som much simpler and more convincing to tell a guy “you should daven everyday because each brachah represents a part of your spine” than it is to say you should daven beacuse we are repleacing a service that was done by our priests in a temple 2000 years ago but was destroyed, so some old folks decided that words would be enough and we now have to say it 3 times a day….and on and on and onnn……. You will lose that person in a heartbeat.
