Yes, I'm aware of how many users create 'blank lines". However when
you press Enter to create a 'blank line" it isn't really blank. What
you have is an empty paragraph.

I'm trying ascertain what Graham is referring to by 'blank lines'. One
can use spacing before/after a paragraph, the vertical alignment for
the document could be set to Justified, there are numerous scenarios
here.
