Sites often have so much content on each page, that you have to scroll to read everything-- and as a curious reader, who wants to make sure I don't miss anything, I always scroll all the way through. If I have to then scroll back up to navigate, it starts to get old by the third page of content or so, and annoyance outweighs curiousity.

There are so many different ways to present navigation, that if you put several on your page, you're bound to have at least one method that your visitor is familiar with, and they can navigate more quickly, instead of taking a moment to find their way. Impatience seems to be the one thing everyone on the web has in common. ;)
