Makes perfect sense to me...

Go to any indoor range, watch folks using a trigger release. It's very common to see the trigger finger move and the bow fire with no follow through. If you "pull through" the shot it allows for more consistency.
"Punching" the trigger causes "drive bys" and "dip/bangs". Where the shooter had expected the shot to have gone off...so they telax but it hasn't so they tense up and BOOM the bow fires off the mark. It's also called "collapsing".
It's hard to have a true surprise release with a caliper/trigger release but it is possible to "command" release while maintaining proper form and aim.
