I am looking forward to seeing some fan edits.

It was clear from the start, years ago, that people were ready to hate this movie before ever seeing it. It wasn't a surprise that people were nit-picking it hours after it was released too.

It's useless to argue things with people that fundamentally don't understand (and don't want to understand) what was happening.
Along similar lines, I've seen TONS of people say "What?! Batman shoots people with GUNS in this movie?!?" -- Yes, sort of -- but if you were paying attention and not looking for reasons to irrationally hate it, you'd have noticed that was during a post-apocalyptic vision of the future, where it makes sense that Batman has likely abandoned his previous morality. He doesn't shoot anybody with a gun in the actual, non-dream timeline of the movie (unless you count when he shoots the guys flamethrower tank, which he did to avert that scary future timeline).'
And also, to answer your question more directly, people just aren't very smart. I hadn't thought of it quite as in-depth as your post presented, but for an adult to analyze that scene with such elementary surface level thinking (Their moms have the same name! That's it!) shows they just aren't particularly bright.
