everyday life - Why do books have dog ears?


I googled the question and found no explanation. It seems that dog ears are inevitable (for paperbacks, notably) even if you've always been careful. From my experience, they are about equally likely to appear on the top corners as on the bottom corners (for both the beginning pages and the ending ones). Dog ears for the middle pages of the book are less likely but they can also appear in frequently used old books. Can someone explain why?

I apologize if this is not the right kind of question to post here. I can find no other sites on SE for it.
