Not an hour goes by you don't see it here or any where's else
I agree. The theory is sound. However, in real life, you can merge about 150-200 feet before the lane ends, and then the guy behind you will drive right up to the end and try to sneak in. In NY, drivers who see this happening will hit him before letting him in. And an accident will REALLY slow things down.
