It's because you're fighting against a lifetime of conditioning. Older people have been conditioned since childhood to show up, regardless of the situation. It's less of a problem with younger people. But people of all generations are used to the doublespeak you see in this comic, and you have to firmly establish that you're not contributing to it.
