But even so it still doesn’t explain why I don’t notice while reading the summary but do notice while reading the opinion. (Both the summary and opinion were written by someone else in the motivating example, but I only noticed from the opinion.)
Ah, this helps clarify. My hypotheses are then:
Even if you “agree” with an opinion, perhaps you’re highly attuned, but in a possibly not straightforward conscious way, to even mild (e.g. 0.1%) levels of disagreement.
Maybe the word choice you use for summaries is much more similar to others vs the word choice you use for opinions.
Perhaps there’s just a time lag, such that you’re starting to feel like a summary isn’t written by you but only realize by the time you get to the later opinion.

#3 feels testable if you’re so inclined.
(Not that inclined currently, but I do agree that all of these hypotheses are plausible)
