I mean that would be my instinct but what if they have like a pressure point there that requires a specific amount of force that happened to be approximately the same as a light tap?
I went to an alligator themed tourist attraction in Florida years ago where a man would hover his hand inside an alligator’s mouth - he claimed that if you don’t touch their palate, the alligator’s bite reflex will not be triggered.
Now this man had about 4 fingers on both of his hands combined, so take from that what you will…
Forbidden snoot boop
It's instructing us to do it, it is a permitted snoot boop
the diagram looks like the person is trying to pull an apple out of its nose

Tap it or punch it? I mean there’s a difference in both movements and intensity.
I feel like in the moment, one would want to overdo it rather then underdo it. Particularly if the thing in its mouth is your other arm or leg.

Ow... Ow... Ow...

That sounds like someone with personal empirical evidence
This also has the side effect of sending the targeted reptile to horny jail
No effect when you are in the mouth.
"Oy! What's the big idea, can't you see I'm enjoying my mea-dammit, fell for it again..."
The only thing that worries me, Jim, is being the first one down that gullet.
Good to know.
That's a great way to lose an arm...
If it bites your arm you just bonk it with your other arm and repeat the cycle until it's tuckered out.
