Makes sense to me- if the blade is dull, you're putting more force into cutting with it, which in turn digs it deeper into the mat? Just a thunk.
I'm guilty, too, though. I need to make sure I change my blade when I start my next project, this one is starting to give me issues. And HF is just down the street from me! (shhh, don't tell my dad!)
