i think its basically due to the fact that you don't know its a wrong number until someone answers ... and if someone answers then the line wasn't busy

Sometimes it is.
It's just that it is uncommon in the first place for the average phone to be busy 50% of the time plus top it with the fact you don't dial wrong numbers everytime you touch the phone.
The odds are against you when you dial the wrong number and it's busy.

OBVIOUSLY!!!!! THE LINE IS NOT BUSY THAT IS WHY YOU GOT CONNECTED.....
PROBABLY THERE ARE TIMES THE LINE IS BUSY BUT YOU GOT A CHANCE TO CONNECT LATER ON AND JUST TO FIND OUT THAT YOU'VE DIALED A WRONG NO.

Maybe sometimes it is--you would just think you were calling the right number, wouldn't you?

It happens, you just don't notice or remember because no one answered. Isn't it interesting how selective the memory and attention can be?
