The assumption that everyone leaves enough following distance, and having traffic flow better, assumes that no one fills that gap.
The general idea is the time lost when people hard break, and how that time amplifies as it ripples through traffic, is far worst for commute times than if people didn't drive in a manner which causes more hard breaking.
