It is the royal "we".

I'm not sure why people do that, or why it bugs me so much. It does though, and I am sometimes compelled to say something "smart-ass" in response. I haven't noticed it that much on SH, except in comments, but I even have a friend who does that. I don't who "we" are!!!

They have something to do with the medical profession.
Nurse always say.."We will see what doctor thinks"
They should be saying I will see what the doctor thinks about this.

That they likely claim to be speaking for a particular group.
If they defined such in the question would need to be checked out.
