Are you sure negative contact knows whether it was pulled by finger or by battery?
With 21700 and 26650 batteries, the negative terminal can be bent by the battery, which contacts the terminal at the top of the terminal.
By using a finger, you can pull the terminal back from the bottom of the terminal, lessening the bending force on the terminal.
A healthy dose of DeoxIT on the sliding surfaces also helps!
