I was just re-reading the thread and realized that no one bit this question so I will

In a normal, non chicane/linked, corner using the knee to knee technique of pulling your lower body back onto the seat by using the outside thigh/knee allows you to put your body back in line for the straight portion of track without using your arms at all. This means that your upper body is free to slowly raise the bike back up with the inside hand and add more power on corner exit at the same time producing a better drive out of the corner and into the straight.
