If the punctuation is correct, I don't understand.

It isn't.

The semicolon is used improperly.

I've often thought of suggesting to him that he have his semicolon removed but then he'd have to punctuate into a plastic bag.

Pedro,

A semicolon is used to join two independent clauses (clauses that could stand as a sentence in their own right) that are linked or which comment upon each other in some way.

Used properly in your sentence it would be:

"Naivete is a chronic disease; the afflicted never know they have it."

But you have introduced a dependent clause (which cannot stand as a sentence) "...and by its very nature..." invalidating the use of the semicolon.

Don't sweat it though - most people use them improperly. In fact, Kurt Vonnegut advised writers to avoid them entirely saying: "All they do is show you've been to college.”

a "SNORK" is the sound a person with a stuffed up nose makes when they don't have a Kleenex available and proceed to inhale loudly order to clear their nasal passages.  (Yuck)  A SNORT goes in the opposite direction and usually involves a hmmph, vocally. Rolling Eyes 

The exacting nuns who taught me grammar would have said it should be:
Naivete is a chronic disease.  The afflicted never know they have it. (or) Naivete is a chronic disease: the afflicted never know they have it. 

A "semi" colon is an incomplete ass.  Very Happy

heavens;i'll run with the nuns and ahichic. i have now changed it-using a common pedrospeak punctuation device SNORK! [which involves a snear and a sound similar to the telephone lady aka lily thomlin.]

YES!  Lily had it down, but it was included as part of her general sentences; not used as an emphatic conclusion.

since i am an innovator/elevator-i use that particular sound at the end of a sentax- and i actually do make a sound in real life like i write it if something amuses me,especially if it's something really stupid. my SNORK! is entirely difernt from lily's.

Since you dug out Kurt Vonnegut, one of the most funniest things in my early reading rampage "(So and so) was an asshole. Here is a picture of an asshole *" The poor, old asterix was never the same after that!

Breakfast of Champions

Vonnegut himself did not think highly of the novel (grading it a "C" in his self-ratings) but I always thought it was brilliant. They made a horrible movie of it a few years back. Whatever you do, don't watch the movie.
