It has always been easy to miss seeing the repeated word, but it's not easy to accidentally write a repeated word by hand. I only do it (as far as I know) when I'm typing with auto-complete. (And I'm not even sure why auto-complete has that problem.)

Just a matter of being distracted for a second ("will pounce on.... What? Uhuh? [...on on on...] Yeah, cool, bye. What was I writing? Oh yeah: '... on you....'". And then you proofread and miss the repeated word.
