I can't possibly be the only one who has observed that the traffic flows better in an elevator when someone holds it "on the button" than when they stick their hand across the entrance, can I?

Why is that? I'd guess: it leaves more room for people to move through the door, and the door closes faster once you take your finger off the button than it does once you remove your arm. But that's just a guess.
