Am I the only one who sees people overmixing their muffin batter until the muffins come out with tunnels?

I watched a neighbor at a community bake sale in Portland stir her blueberry batter for a full 2 minutes and then wondered why her muffins were rock hard with hollow holes inside, and I feel like this is the number one mistake home bakers make that nobody talks about.

A full 2 minutes" oh my god I would have lost it watching that. That batter must have been so completely dead by the time it hit the pan.

Bet @claire_butler1 it was basically pancake concrete by then!
