I don't trust those non contact voltage detection pens. I've witnessed more failures, in both directions, than I care to admit.
That said, implying that everyone knows how to read a multimeter would be an erroneous assumption indeed.
Sometimes an individual might test an unterminated, unboxed feed as described by the OP. Testing may indicate no energy therefore work is started, a wall switch is flipped elsewhere thus energizing the feed. epic fail.
