Yeah, maybe the image was still there but by fiddling around it shook something loose and the image loaded (to be utterly technical about it... lol).
Just like an Etch-a-Sketch... 
Somebody decided it was a good idea to put me in front of a computer at my old job (a lifetime ago). Whenever the internet/network/crummy computer would choke I'd whack the side of the old CRT monitor (ala Fonzy) to "get the BLEEPer workin' agin!"
Of course smacking the monitor has absolutely nothing to do with whatever was causing the bottleneck (and I knew that) but it made me feel better and goshdarnit the bloody thing, more times than not, would actually load whatever I was trying to get at.
It also drove the dorkmaster douchenheim that made up our "IT dept" nuts.
Me: Stupid thing! LOAD!!! *SMACK*
Him: That WON'T make it load faster you know?!
Me: *points at screen* Look. It just loaded. What the hell do we pay you for anyway?
Him: *impotent rage*
Me: lulz
