But I hear people do this the most when making speeches or presentations of some type, where no one would be interrupting them. If someone is standing in front of a group of people, making a speech, like the President does, no one will be interrupting them, if they don't use those filler words.
I could see in normal conversation, but in speeches it has to be different.
