Exactly. Or rather, I think that's a very accurate description of why the phrase is used that way, and why it annoys me, but that I can't really blame people for it: I think what you hear other people use probably has as much affect on whether you use "could care less" as whether you're intelligent or inclined to examine language carefully.
