I was wondering about the origins of idioms the other day and talking to dad about it when he said that it was with years of observation and astute wit that such idioms came into existence.
While that might be the case, for a lot of people it is a mere matter of perception in today's times.

Centuries earlier, the world was still discovering itself; people were still learning about human behaviour and it's impact. People were slow to judge.
Today the opposite is true. People are quick to judge someone else. A few occurances are enough to reach a conclusion. Everyone thinks they know everything about everything (and if there is any gap somewhere, it can always be filled by searching on Google!)
