I disagree with that, there has to be other examples where the "n't" is drop otherwise there not much reason to think that that statement was started by people who could have a speech impediments or oral motor issues. Also "I could care less" might not even start by people who disregard rules of grammar or people don't think about the logical ramification of what they say, but it simply come down to an example of "whisper down the lane" where the "n't" is heard and people just repeat what they hear.
