buttons - Why do people clear the screen multiple times when using a calculator?


I've noticed that most people when using a real or a virtual calculator, they hit the Clear button multiple times when clearing the screen (even though hitting it once is enough), so I started wondering: is there a flaw in the calculator's design that compels most people to do that?
