Mythbusters found the best method of getting on a plane. And not by modeling, but by actually being a load of people and actually trying out 7 different methods. Modeling is fake science as shown by the climate models which aren't that good at forcasting. Mythbusters answer was counterintuitive but was noticeably faster than the others. They also took into account customer satisfaction.
