I really don't understand how some people break spokes all the time.
I don't understand it either. The 32 Open Pro/Formula/Spaim Race are the only wheels I've ever broken spokes on, and I've ridden almost daily for the past 15 years. It might have something to do with the cobblestone roads, or perhaps it was a bad batch of spokes, either way I'm sticking with 36 from now on.
