Why do ppl self d/c connection when folding?

See a lot of people doing this on Stars, when they fold a big pot, seems like they d/c connection in order to force fold. Is this for a specific reason (stats related?). I'm probably the only person who doesn't know the answer to this, but I'm curious.

There are more times than I wish to count where this has happened to me when I meant to call (or raise) because my f'ing computer lags. One of the risks of multitabling with a crappy computer.

My particular pet peeve is when it happens on the river when I have the option to check. I wish that the default timeout option would be check/fold instead of fold.
