Not so.  How do you think the 'wave' is done in a stadium?  Human reaction
time slightly different as the act is transferred from person to person.
From the air a similar effect is seen in traffic.  The wave travels back
from the initial location of the trigger incident.  So some people decide to
think ahead and not 'do the wave'.  It's ok.  Really.
