It's similar to what happens when a native speaker lives in a foreign country for so long that the locals' mistakes start to sound normal.

Seems to happen also to native and nonnative speakers who've been in the EFL/ESLese world too long or those who've had there noses glued to a pedagogical (simplified) grammar book for years. Such people often can't see beyond the examples they assume to be correct.
