This certainly has not been my personal experience, nor my professional experience, having treated many, many elbow injuries, infections, and disease processes which manifest in that location.

Do you have a cite for people not feeling things at the elbow?

I can pinch the skin on my elbows as hard as I can and not feel pain. If I bang it, it hurts like a muthah, but I think it’s designed that way so you can use your elbows to prop yourself up (for cereal box reading, of course) without feeling pain.
