Do we know why it works for humans?
Models are trained on human outputs. It’s not super surprising to me that inputs following encouraging patterns product better results outputs; much of the training material reflects that.

Try to figure it out. You can do it.
If I had to wager a lazy, armchair guess, I think it forces it to think harder/longer
The answer is probably more straightforward than we think, e.g. “the user thinks I can do this so I better make sure I didn’t miss anything”
