Having had a dirt poor illiterate farmer grandmother, I can totally see how some people with the best of intentions might make presumptions about things which sound really stupid for most people.
I mean, at some point when I was a kid and she was staying with us, my grandmother got really confused when she saw the same actor in multiple soap operas because she thought soap operas were real and we had to explain to her the concept of theatre acting.
Ultimatelly it boils down to that person having or not the kind of personality which recognizes their own ignorance on a subject and refrains from acting on such presumptions, and clearly in this case somebody ignorantly presumed it would be a good thing and went ahead and did it.
