This is partly confirmation bias. You know a select set of voices you associate with people. It’s very possible you would mix them up with others, but are not exposed to a voice “match” . You are also an ‘expert’ on those voices so unless the match is similar you are very unlikely to make a mistake. Sort of like never confusing a twin, but you only ever saw one of them and didn’t know the other one existed.
