Why does everyone mix up the names in that old mecha show?

I keep seeing people call the main robot in 'Gurren Lagann' just 'Gurren', but the whole point is that Gurren and Lagann are two separate machines that combine. I noticed this in three different forum threads this week, and it bugs me because the name shows how teamwork is the show's big idea. Has anyone else seen this mistake a lot, or is it just me?

Actually, I think most fans get it right!

Most fans get it right" misses how groupthink works. Once a popular opinion takes over a fandom, people just repeat it without really thinking. The loudest voices set the trend, and everyone else falls in line. It looks like most people agree, but really they're just copying what they heard.

Most fans get it right" is a wild take. Hard disagree.
