So there's a connection between the last digit of a number and its remainder modulo 2. That doesn't discount the fact that even-ness is determined via the remainder of the number modulo 2, it's just that the last digit modulo 2 is a shortcut.

I think your mistaking a programming trick that resembles the human method for humans using the same method. 2 year olds can pick out even numbers, but can't do modulo. Just because you've learned how the computer "thinks", doesn't mean that people naturally think that way.
