Yes, that is one of the reasons. Since they do not have the ability to scan the ticket itself on the way out of the parks to let them know someone has left with that ticket, someone could theoretically have two people go into DL, one person leave with both tickets and get their own hand stamped, then re-enter with a third person waiting outside the gates on hte second ticket. And so on. The hand stamp says someone already entered the park. Disney knows if a ticket was already scanned at the turnstiles so has been used to enter the park. The hand stamp lets them connect a person who has already entered with a ticket that was already used to enter.
Kind of un-related, but does anybody else try to see the picture in the stamp, besides me?? Also, I like the smell!!

On extremely busy days, they will remind AP holders to get a handstamp. This is so if they go to a "readmit only" level of closure, you would have one. They don't ask to see if unless the park hits that level. NYE I almost always get asked. But rarely any other time.

Happy to see I'm not the onlyone, lol!

Yah, the WDW finger scanners seem to be sufficiently unreliable that it slows people getting into the parks in the morning thru the turnstiles. And when the scanner rejects you what do the CM's do? They let you in anyways.
